Indra is the king of the gods, and yet, he is not worshipped with the Trimurti. Why is this?
He is the god of luxury, who has a cow, a tree and a jewel which will fulfil all wishes, and he watches apsaras dance and gandharvas sing. But for all his pleasure and wealth–Indra does not have peace of mind. He is under constant attack from asuras, and in one story, he asks his most beautiful apsara to disturb the tapasya of the great Vishwamitra.

Delve into the story of the god of the body, in this short, sweet read from Devlok.
