He is often depicted with a blue or black body, adorned with a crown of skulls and a garland of severed heads. Holding a noose in one hand to bind those caught in karma and a mace or sword in the other to sever ignorance and attachment, his wrathful image evokes fear. However, Yama embodies the essential function of death and judgment, serving as a reminder of the impermanence of life and the consequences of one's actions. As a protector of the Dharma, Yama urges practitioners to live virtuously, emphasizing the importance of ethical conduct, meditation, and spiritual discipline to prepare for both this life and the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 11\"\/28cm (Height) x 8.2\"\/21cm (Base)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 2.528 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 24K Gold Gilded, Copper Body, Acrylic Paintings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYama Dharmaraja, often referred to simply as Yama, is the god of death in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions.
