Heart It
Airavat... Indra`s
mount
It is said that Airavat was born when Brahma sang seven
sacred hymns over the two halves of the egg shell from which Garuda hatched. It
is also mentioned in many religious text that once when Indra defeated
Vritasur, the demon of drought, Airavata reached down to the watery underworld
with his trunk, and sprayed the water into the clouds. Indra then caused the
watery clouds to rain.
