Yamraj, also known as Yama, is a significant figure in Hindu mythology and is regarded as the god of death. He is responsible for guiding the souls of the deceased to the afterlife and maintaining the balance between life and death. Depicted as a fearsome figure with a dark complexion, he often rides a buffalo and carries a noose to capture souls. In addition to his role as the god of death, Yamraj is also associated with justice and righteousness. He ensures that individuals receive the consequences of their actions in life, rewarding the virtuous and punishing the wicked. His presence serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the importance of living a righteous life.
