Kuwera (or Kubera), the god of wealth, as depicted in reliefs at the Candi Mendut temple in Central Java, Indonesia, built around 824 CE. The carved stone relief shows him as the husband of the goddess Hariti, and he is also known as a guardian of children and the king of the Yakshas. In Javanese culture, Kuwera is also a character in traditional wayang kulit (puppet shows).
