What happened when Gowthama cursed Indra?

Indra disguised himself as Sage Gowthama and had a physical relationship with the Sage’s wife, Ahalya. Gowthama found this out and cursed them both. As a result of the curse, Indra’s beard turned green and his testicles fell down. He had to attach a pair of testicles of a male goat. As a public display of his offense, a thousand vaginas developed all over his body. Half the sin of anyone who behaved immorally started going to Indra. Because of this, his position became unstable. He had to suffer defeat at the hands of Meghanada. He got some relief after worshiping Surya for a thousand years. He also took a dip in River Gowthami and performed AshwamedhaYaga. He was blessed by Devi. His thousand vaginas turned into a thousand eyes.
