Mythology

A terrible fear had overcome

Indra, king of the gods...

...for his crown was threatened by an enemy

far stronger than anything his divine thunderbolt
or the army of immortals could restrain.

Forgetting his pride, and riding his

three-headed elephant Airavat...

...he headed for Vaikuntha, the celestial abode of

Lord Vishnu, who was the preserver of the universe.

Indra knew that the omnipotent

Vishnu was the only one who could
stand against the impending doom
that heaven and earth were facing.
