 On the day of Dhanteras, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kuber are worshipped. , worshiping Kubera, the god of wealth, provides relief from financial crisis.



Kubera is the son of Vishrabha and Ilabila. Another name for Kubera is Eilbil for being the son of Ilabila. His name is Vaishravan from the name of his father Vishrava. Kubera had three legs and eight teeth. He was named Kuber for his ugly face.

Once he went to Mahavana and did penance for two thousand years and appeased Brahma. Kubera was a deity. Satisfied with his austere Krichcha Sadhana, Brahma gave him a flowery chariot of equal status to the gods. Kubera had no accommodation. Although he received the status of a deva from Brahma, Yaksha, means a deity; Therefore, one cannot reside with the gods, and one cannot reside in the same realm with the demigods. Brahma requests Kubera's father to build a separate bus for him.

Vishrava fixed his son Kubera's abode at Lankapuri on the Trikut peak built by Vishwakarma. When Ravana expressed his desire to conquer Lankapuri, he left Lanka on the advice of his father and went to Kailash.

Kubera once visited Rudrani in Lanka. As a result, Kubera's right eye was burnt and his left eye turned pink. Since then the god of wealth was known as Ekpingal.

In Kailasa, Kubera became engrossed in the pursuit of Shiva again. After many years of sadhana, Mahadeva was satisfied and received his grace. He became friends with Mahadev. Since then another name of Kubera is Trimbakskha. Kubera's wife's name was Ahuti. Two sons and a daughter were born to Ahuti. The names of the two sons were Nalakubar and Manigriva. Daughter's name was Meenakshi. Kuber's family lived in Kailash. His capital was called Alka.

As Ravana became mighty and tyrannical, Kuba's messenger begged Ravana to desist from evil deeds. But Ravana got angry and declared war against Kubera. Kubera was defeated by Dashanan in this battle. Ravana took possession of his flowery chariot.

Brahma orders various devas, Gandharvas, Yakshas etc. to create monkeys to assist Rama in killing Ravana. Kuber created a monkey from this formula. Gandhamadana, the monkey son of Yakshadeva.

Kuber Dev is worshiped on these two dates, Dhanteras and Sharad Purnima. The Sharad Purnima day is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Lord Kubera.

Lord Shiva is also worshiped along with his friend Kubera in Dhapeshwar Mahadev temple in Madhya Pradesh. Kubera Bhandari Temple is located on the banks of Narmada in Gujarat. Many say that Mahadev himself built this temple 2500 years ago. Bhandara is held every year in Kuber Bhandari temple, this event is world famous.
