He has two main personalities: warrior protector and wealth deity. In the 14th century, he was one of the primary protectors of the Gelugpa Sect in Tibet and he played an important role in the Tantra. In southern Asia, He is called Jambhala because he always carries Jambhala (lemon) in one of his hands. Though he possesses various attributes and forms, such as a sword, a banner, a lemon, and a flat vessel, among others, his most common attribute or emblem is a mongoose (Nakula).
