Kubera, known as Vaishravana in Buddhism, is revered as the God of wealth and the guardian king of the north direction, associated with Mount Sumeru. He boasts a golden-yellow complexion and a plump torso adorned with opulent gold ornaments. His five-pronged crown symbolizes the five transcendental Buddhas and his distinct features include large, expressive eyes, upturned lips, and a unique mustache and beard.
A flowing scarf drapes elegantly around his body and his lower body is clad in exquisite garments. Kubera often holds various items in his right hand, such as a sword, banner, lemon, or a flat vessel. However, his most famous attribute is the Mongoose (Nakula), which he holds in his left hand. The Mongoose is a symbol of blessings from the Lord of Wealth, as it continuously emits precious jewels from its mouth.
