In Hinduism, "Devas" are celestial beings or gods who embody various aspects of nature and life. They are often associated with specific elements, such as Indra, the god of rain and thunderstorms, and Agni, the god of fire. Devas are considered benevolent and are worshipped for their powers to protect and bless humanity. Devas are part of a larger cosmological framework that includes Asuras, who are often seen as their opposites or adversaries. The interactions between Devas and Asuras are central to many Hindu myths and stories, illustrating the balance of good and evil in the universe.
