Indra
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Indra is the most important among the Indo-Aryan gods. In the Vedas, many verses (hymns) are there in his praise. The Rigveda praises him as a very strong god. Many Hindu scriptures tell about Indra, his character and his deeds.
Indra resides in a mythical city located above in the sky. The city’s name is Amravati. He lives there with his wife named Indrani, and several other smaller gods. There are many apsaras in amravati.
Indra was a very important god during the Vedic period. Gradually his importance became less. Gods like Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva became more important in Hinduism.
