The Jyeshtha Legend
Indra is the most powerful protector of gods and humanity. He fought the dragon Vritra with his thunderbolt and freed the waters. But his power was matched by his pride; he made many mistakes and had to atone for them. Jyeshtha carries the responsibility of power and the weight of greatness.
