Asura - In Hinduism. In Hindu mythology, the Asura (Sanskrit: असुर) are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes misleadingly referred to as demons. They were opposed to the devas.

In Hinduism, Virabhadra is a super being created by Shiva who eventually blinded Bhaga. The super being was created after Shiva's wife, Sati was not invited to a great sacrifice given by her father Daksa. Sati, being greatly humiliated, went to the banquet and self immolated, by invoking yogic flames. When Shiva heard about his wife's death, he tore a hair out of his head and threw it on the ground. From this hair rose a great warrior and hero -- Virabhadra. Virabhadra and his army destroyed Daksa's sacrifice and killed Daksa.<

The first inhabitants of Lahul and Spiti were a mixture of the proto-Tibetan Khampa and Aryan people, who eventually intermarried and settled down. At that time, the region and people were still very wild and barbaric, and human sacrifice was not uncommon.
