  Amarin

 

Thailand

Though Indra, the Vedic god of the heavens, weather and war, as well as the king of the gods and supreme ruler of the Tavatimsa Heaven, is usually portrayed with a green complexion (fig.), as Amarin Jom Thep, one of his titles that means ‘Immortal King and Supreme Angel’, he may in fact be depicted with a red complexion, akin to his twin brother Agni, the Vedic god of fire.
