| Indra ( इन्द्र or इंद्र, indra) (『インダラ』 Indara) is the chief deity of the Rigveda, and the god of weather and war, and Lord of Svargaloka in Hinduism. Indra is rarely referred to in Buddhist texts, and when he is it is either as a minor deity (a lord of the yakṣas, for instance) or as the object of worship of the Brahmins. His place as ruler of the devas is taken by Śakra, ruler of the heaven of the Thirty-three gods. Śakra is, however, sometimes given the title indra, or, more commonly, devānām indra, "Lord of the devas".
According to Toei, Indramon is one of the "Twelve Heavenly Warriors of Buddhist Mythology."
