Indira

the Storm Sovereign

Description

Indira is depicted as a majestic figure with hair flowing like storm clouds and eyes that mirror the deepest ocean. She carries a meteor hammer, representing the power of storms, and is often accompanied by eagles and dolphins, symbolizing freedom and adaptability. In her presence, the air is charged with anticipation, and the sound of distant thunder rumbles.
Indira's worshipers believe that just as storms bring both destruction and renewal, challenges in life can lead to growth and transformation. By understanding the cyclical nature of storms and the calming influence of gentle breezes, they find solace in the ebb and flow of existence.

Worship and Temples

Temples of Indira are often situated in coastal areas, where the sea meets the sky, and atop mountain peaks, where the winds are strongest. Worshipers offer prayers during storms and calm weather alike, recognizing the importance of both in the natural order. Ceremonies involve music, dance, and the symbolic cleansing of impurities through water rituals.

Clergy and Codes of Conduct

Indira's clergy, known as Storm Wardens, are skilled in weather prediction, offering guidance to sailors and farmers. They follow a strict code of balance, emphasizing the harmony between calm and chaos. Storm Wardens are expected to meditate during storms to understand the intricate patterns of nature and maintain equilibrium in their actions.
