How was Indra's sin ultimately dissolved in Mahakali's realm?
At the outer gates Bhairavas and Bhairavis stood guard, while multiple Vinayakas held the inner gates through Sarupya Mukti; in Mahakali's presence, Lord Mahakala appeared and Shiva merged into his effulgent body, and Mahakali instructed that sacred dust from the inner sanctum be applied to Indra's forehead, completely dissolving his Brahmahatya Dosha.
