Yama Dharmaraja, the lord of death in Tibetan Buddhism, is a fearsome deity who governs the underworld and judges the deeds of beings after death. Often depicted with a blue or black body, a crown of skulls, and a garland of severed heads, he holds a noose in one hand to capture those bound by karma and a mace or sword in the other to cut through ignorance and attachment. While his wrathful form may invoke fear, Yama represents the necessary role of death and judgment, serving as a reminder of the impermanence of life and the consequences of one's actions.
