Indra | Indrani — História e Análise

Indra foi mencionado em hinos religiosos como um deus poderoso desde cerca de 1500 a.C. Mas, com o passar do tempo, seu significado diminuiu. Em textos posteriores, e para os crentes hindus de hoje na Índia, ele é apenas um dos guardiões das direções cardeais, a do Leste.

Indra e sua esposa Indrani ainda desempenham um papel importante no Nepal. Efígies de Indra são carregadas pelas ruas durante um festival anual.
