Hinduism - Who Is Upendra In The Hindu Pantheon?

 

("junior Indra") is a term used to describe a person who is younger than The deity Vishnu's epithet.

Vishnu is depicted as a servant and companion of the storm-god Indra, who is the primary Vedic deity, in several late hymns in the Vedas, the oldest Hindu holy books.

Despite Indra's eclipse as a great god, the epithet is still used today, albeit its exact meaning is no longer valid.
