Indra, the king of the Devas and ruler of Swargaloka, is the god of rain, thunderstorms, and lightning. Known for his power as well as his mischievous nature, Indra became the subject of a notorious legend. According to versions found in the Ramayana and the Padma Purana, he was cursed after an encounter with Ahalya, bearing a thousand marks of shame upon his body.
