Poulomi

Poulomi (पौलोमी) is a Hindu goddess, primarily known as the consort of Lord Indra, the king of the gods (Devas). She is also referred to as Sachi (शची), Indrani (इन्द्राणी), and Aindri.

In Hindu mythology, Poulomi is often depicted as a beautiful and virtuous goddess. She is the embodiment of wifely devotion and is revered for her strength and unwavering loyalty to Indra. She is considered an important figure in the pantheon of Hindu goddesses and symbolizes marital bliss and prosperity.

Poulomi's name, "Poulomi," is derived from Puloman, an Asura (demon) whom Indra killed. According to some legends, Poulomi was Puloman's daughter. Her story often involves Indra's triumph over malevolent forces and the restoration of cosmic order, with Poulomi playing a supporting role in Indra's victories through her spiritual strength and unwavering support.

Poulomi is also associated with fertility and is invoked by women seeking happy and prosperous marriages. While there are not many temples dedicated solely to Poulomi, she is usually worshipped alongside Indra in temples dedicated to him. Her importance lies in her representation of ideal womanhood and her crucial role as the consort of one of the most powerful deities in Hindu mythology.
