He is brother of Yama the God for death. His vehicle is crow and dress is blue. He wears garland of blue flowers. His ornaments are studded with blue Saphire stones. He is worshipped with "Malini" mantra. He delights Guru Guha. He is the lord of Makara and Kumbha Rasis (Capricorn & Aquarius). He is fond of rice dish prepared with seseme oil and lamp burning with seseme oil. His compassion is like nectar of ocean. He is fearless. Yama injured his knee. He is like celestial "Kalpataru" to fulfill wishes. He is capable of altering time-cycle of life. He is Chaya Devi's son.
