🕉️ DevataFestival: Indra Jayanti (Bhadrapad Shukla Trayodashi)

Lord Indra इन्द्र

Consort: Indrani (Shachi)

Lord Indra is the king of gods + lord of heaven (Swarga) + ruler of the Vasus + foremost in the Rig Veda (250+ hymns dedicated to him). Wielder of the vajra (thunderbolt) + slayer of Vritra. Mounted on white elephant Airavata. Particularly worshipped for rain (Indra controls weather) + agricultural prosperity. Indra Jayanti (Bhadrapad Shukla Trayodashi) marks his appearance. Iconographic complexity reflects his Vedic-age prominence + later Puranic-age subordination.
