Indra (Devanagari: à¤à¤¨à¥à¤¦à¥à¤°) or Åakra is the leader of the Devas or gods and Lord of Svargaloka or heaven in Hindu mythology. He is the God of war, the god of thunderstorms. His weapon is the bolt (vajra). Indra is one of the chief deities in the Rigveda. He is the twin brother of Agni and hence said to be born of Dyaus Pitar (Father Heaven) and Prithvi Matar (Mother Earth). He is also mentioned as an Aditya, a son of Aditi. His home is situated on Mount Meru. He has many epithets, notably vá¹á¹£an the bull, and vá¹trahan, slayer of Vá¹tra, meghavahana "the one who rides the clouds" & Devapati "the lord of gods or devas".Indra appears as the name of an arch-demon in the Zoroastrian religion, while his epithet Verethragna appears as a god of victory. Indra is also called Åakra frequently in the Vedas and in Buddhism (Pali: Sakka). He is known in Burmese as áááá¼á¬á¸áááºá¸, pronounced: [ðadÊá mɪÌÉ´]; in Thai as à¸à¸£à¸°à¸à¸´à¸à¸à¸£à¹ Phra In, in Malay as Indera, in Tamil as Intiran, in Chinese as å¸é天 DìshìtiÄn, and in Japanese as å¸é天 Taishakuten.
