Was there a war in heaven in Hinduism? |
There were wars in heaven in Hindu mythology. Indra’s battle against the demonic Vritra was an aspect of such a war, as are the many battles between the “good” deities, the devas, and the not-so-good ones, the asuras. In the end, the devas, like the Greek Olympians and the Norse Aesir, won over their more primitive enemies.
