See It In Your Home
Seated comfortably and royally on a long pillow, this brass statue depicts the king of Yakshas and god of all wealth known and unknown- Lord Kubera. Keeping him in your vault is considered immensely lucky in matters of money and business.
Near his left hand is an animal that one might mistake for a mouse, but it is a mongoose. Mongooses are animals who wander below the earth’s surface; hence they are related to hidden wealth. It is also a symbol of Kubera’s victory over the Nagas (snakes) who as a group are revered because of their knowledge of wealth stored underground. In many cultures, the mongoose is believed to spit gems out of his mouth. The pot that Lord Kubera is holding in his right hand is a vessel full of nectar (an intoxicating substance). This murti is made in Jain iconography style, which presents Kubera, the yaksha as a drunkard. The necklaces dangling from his neck, highlight the opulence and lavishness Lord Kubera is capable of bestowing upon those who worship him.
