Meaning of the Name
Indra (Sanskrit: इन्द्र or इंद्र, indra) is the chief deity of the Rigveda, and the god of weather and war, and lord of Svargaloka in Hinduism. In the Vedic religion, Indra has prominence over the continuation of chief god of the Indo-European pantheon Dyaus Pita, a relatively minor deity who, interestingly, is the father of Indra. Indra is an important god in many tales and epics. He leads the Devas (the gods who form and maintain Heaven and the elements, such as Agni (Fire), Varuna (Water) and Surya (Sun)), and constantly wages war against the demonic Asuras of the netherworlds, who oppose morality and dharma. He thus fights in the timeless battle between good and evil. In addition, he is one of the Guardians of the directions, representing the east.
