Indra God in Thai social context

Abstract

The story of Indra appears. The Vedas of Brahmanism - Hindu. At that time, Indra was the highest god. Later, Indra was admitted to Buddhism. During the Buddhist era. Indra is in Buddhism as a devotee of the Buddha. And when the Brahmins return to prosperity, the Indra is reduced to a secondary deity. And the triumphalism is huge. But Indra is still the greatest in the Buddhist paradise. We accept Indra come with Buddhism. And Indra in the royal paradise. As clearly shown in the name of the city. The sculpture is a symbol on the gable or motto, and the concept of building the architecture. This concept is a set of concepts in the early Rattanakosin period. But when the time changed. The popularity of other gods increased a lot like Ganesh, Jatukam, Ram, Vishnu, etc., so Indra was not mentioned. I do not like the Thai version of the latter in Buddhism. Or art history Recognize Indra is just a story as it comes to the elementary school that Indra, who is green, is an angel and is living in heaven itself.
