Many years ago, there was a beautiful kingdom in the northern part of our country. It was surrounded by mountains from all sides. It was like a heaven on earth. On the full moon night, even gods came to see the beauty of this place along with their wives. Some of them were so attracted to this place that they decided to permanently settle down there.


One day, they all appeared before the king, Dharam Sen , and told him about their decision. Dharam Sen who was known for his generosity was very happy to know that gods of heaven wanted to live in his kingdom. So the gods permanently settled down in Himnagar and stopped going to heaven. Many days passed. The gods now didn't attend Indra's court. Lord Indra's heaven seemed nothing before Dharam Sen's Himnagar. It's beauty was intoxicating.


So far, Indra was unaware of this horrible design of gods, but soon he felt their absence as it was stalling the functioning of the universe. So, he sent Narada, the saint of gods, to call them, but when they categorically refused to return to heaven and abide by the orders of their king, Indra got furious and struck them his weapon of lightning, which burnt everybody living there into ashes. The lightening was so powerful that it dazed even the mountains which collapsed in a few moments with a deafening noises. The noise was so powerful that it awoke Lord Vishnu from his sleep. He requested Lord Brahma, who was then meditating sitting on the lotus flower coming out of His nevel, the navel of creation. Lord Brahma came out of he's abode and headed in the direction if the noise. On the way, He met Narmada, a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. He told Him that the noise which they all heard was caused by Indra's anger. Lord Brahma got red with anger to know this. He immediately called for Indra and demanded an explanation from him. He invented many excuses,but failed to justify his deed. Finally, Lord Brahma removed him from the throne of heaven and sent him for penance. Thereafter, He regenerated all the dead through His magical powers and made Dharam Sen a new Indra of heaven.
