Indra, who occupied a prime place in the vedic times, seems to have become a minor diety in the puranic times. Perhaps there was a shift in social thinking. Since indra was associated with sacrifices and sacrifices became less important in the puranic times, perhaps that in a way was linked to the scenario of Indra becoming a minor diety over time.
