Indra: King of the Heavens and God of Rain
This hand-carved wooden statue represents Indra, the mighty King of the Devas and the God of Rain, Storms, and War in Hindu mythology. Revered in the Rigveda as a powerful warrior and sky-ruler, Indra is best known for slaying the demon Vṛtra, releasing the life-giving rivers and dawn.
He is frequently addressed by names like Vṛtrahan (slayer of Vṛtra), Śakra, and Maghavan (the bountiful), and carries a complex character that spans across Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Zoroastrian mythology.
This depiction is directly inspired by Indra Jatra, a centuries-old festival celebrated in Kathmandu, Nepal, where Indra is honored through dance, processions, and traditional wooden icons.
