Indra is a prominent deity in Hinduism and, through cultural exchange, also appears in some Buddhist traditions, particularly in the role of a protector of the Dharma. He is often depicted as a powerful king, presiding over Svarga (heaven) and associated with storms, lightning, and rain. His primary weapon is the vajra, a symbol of indestructible power and spiritual resolve. In Buddhist cosmology, he is one of the Lokapalas, or protectors of the world.
