Who is Lord Kuber?
Lord Kuber, also known as Kubera, is the god of wealth, prosperity, and the treasurer of the gods in Hindu mythology. He is the guardian of the northern direction and is believed to bestow riches upon his devotees.
The Divine Treasury
According to ancient scriptures, Lord Kuber resides in Alkapuri, a magnificent city of untold wealth. He was given this position by Lord Brahma after years of severe penance. His treasury is said to be inexhaustible, and he distributes wealth to the deserving.
Connection with Pandukeshwar
