Description

Indra brandissant le foudre (vajra) sur l'éléphant tricéphale Airavana

Indra représente le pouvoir de la foudre. Dans les Veda-s, Indra est le dieu de la sphère de l'espace. C'est le Seigneur des tempêtes, il est aussi la source de toute fertilité. C'est le roi des dieux. Il représente la puissance et incarne les vertus de la jeunesse, de l'héroisme, de la générosité. Il conduit les guerriers et les protège. Dans la mythologie tardive, il devient un aspect de Shiva. Indra est le régent de l'Est. Son nom est aussi donné au soleil. Sa monture est l'éléphant blanc à quatre défenses appelé Airavata ou Airavana.
