Indrani, as the name goes, was Indra's wife & was the queen of
Gods. As per the early Vedic accounts, she was merely a female shadow of
him. Sometimes referred to as the goddess of wrath, Indrani was the
daughter of a demon called Puloman later killed by Indra. She was the
epitome of beauty with one thousand eyes. While according to the later
Hindu interpretations, she started personifying jealousy & evil
intent. She was ranked as one of the nine astral deities who were the
highest of the gods in south. The divine vehicle for the goddess was
either the lion or the elephant. As per the Rig Veda, she is considered to be the most fortunate female as her husband was granted immortality. According to The Taittiriya Brahmana, Indra chose her as his wife from a number of competing goddesses simply because of her magnetic voluptuous attractions. Though, she has never been held in very high esteem as a goddess. Indrani is known as Sachi and Aindri as well.
