Kubera

In Hindu mythology, a minor deity who
is one of the eight Guardians of the
Directions, serving as guardian over the
northern quarter. Kubera is said to live
in the Himalaya mountains, where he is
served by mythical creatures such as
yakshas, nagas, and kinnaras. He is
enormously fat, and because of all the
mineral wealth contained in the mountains, he is enormously wealthy. Kubera
is the half-brother of the demon-king of
Lanka, Ravana, and Kumbhakarna and
Vibhishana. All four are sons of the
demigod Vishravas, but Kubera has a
different mother. Despite their relationship, Ravana steals Kubera’s aerial chariot,
the Pushpak Viman. Because of
Ravana’s notorious misdeeds, Kubera
supports the god-king Rama’s efforts to
conquer Ravana.
