Story of Mahishasura: When Indra was the Lord of devas in heaven and
Mahishasura was the Lord of asuras, there was a battle between the devas and the asuras. In that battle Mahishasura defeated the devas and conquered the heaven. He threw the devas out of the heaven and assumed the jurisdiction of Chandra, Surya, Indra etc. The devas roamed in the earth like ordinary mortals.
