In Hindu mythology, the god of wealth and prosperity is Lord Kubera. He is often referred to as the "Treasurer of the Gods" and is associated with material wealth, abundance, and the guardianship of treasures. Kubera is depicted as a plump, dwarf-like deity, often seen holding a money bag or a mongoose that spits out jewels. He is yaksha as per Hindu scriptures. He is considered one of the Lokapalas (guardians of the directions) and is associated with the northern direction. Kubera is also a prominent figure in Hindu scriptures and epics, such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, and is sometimes worshiped by those seeking financial success and prosperity.
Some people believe that propitiating him will help in
discovery of treasures.
