Indra is a Vedic deity in Hinduism a guardian deity in Buddhism and the king of the highest heaven called in Jainism. His mythologies and powers are similar, though not identical to those of the Indo-European deities such as Zeus, Jupiter, Perun, Thor, and Odin (Wotan). He is the god of the heavens, lightning, thunder, storms, rains and river flows.His importance diminishes in the post-Vedic Indian literature where he is depicted as a powerful hero but one who is getting in trouble with his drunken, hedonistic and adulterous ways, and the god who disturbs Hindu monks as they meditate because he fears self-realized human beings may become more powerful than him. This masterpiece has been craeted by mastercraftsmen of India using brass and cold casting technique.
