Lord Indra on His Elephant Airavata

Lord Indra is one of the most adventurous of the Hindu pantheon of devtas. He rides his Airavat (Sanskrit for 'elephant') across the three realms of existence (according to Hindu philosophy), takes multiple journeys between them, and holds great sway over nature. It is to Him that devout Hindus turn to when in need of some soothing weather and when setting examples of good karma to their children.
