Kubera, also known as Kuvera, Kuber, and Kuberan, is a significant figure in Hinduism, revered as the deity of wealth and the ruler of the semi-divine yakshas. As the Regent of the North (Dikpala) and a Protector of the World (Lokapala), he is often hailed as the overseer of various semi-divine species and the holder of worldly treasures. Characteristically, Kubera is represented with a plump body, ornate with jewels, and carrying a money-pot and a club in his hands.
In the ancient texts of the Vedic era, Kubera was initially depicted as the chief of evil spirits. It was only in later texts like the Puranas and the Hindu epics that he was granted the position of a deva, or god. These scriptures account that Kubera was previously the ruler of Lanka, but was eventually ousted by his half-brother, Ravana. Following this, he took residence in the blissful city of Alaka located in the Himalayas, a city which is often heralded in scriptures for its 'glory' and 'splendour'.
The chalisa, a ritual of worship in Hinduism, dedicated to Kubera is often performed by devotees, seeking his blessings of wealth and prosperity.
Kubera is commonly portrayed as a dwarf with the complexion of lotus leaves and a prominent belly. His unusual physical attributes include possessing three legs, a single eye, and only eight teeth. He's also seen adorned with an array of jewels and sometimes, illustrated as riding a man.
The peculiar deformities such as the broken teeth, tri-legged stance, triple-headed appearance, and four arms are mostly found in the later Puranic depictions. In his hand, Kubera can be seen holding a mace, a pomegranate, or a bag of money. He might also be carrying a bundle of jewels or a mongoose.
Kuber Chalisa is a devotional hymn dedicated to Kuber, known as Kubera, the Lord of Wealth in Hinduism. This prayer comprises 40 verses or 'chaupais,' hence the name 'Chalisa' (from the Hindi word 'chalīs,' which means forty). It is written in the Avadhi language, a dialect of Hindi, and its verses are filled with praise, devotion, and appeal for blessings from Lord Kuber.
Kuber Chalisa is recited by devotees to attract wealth, overcome financial difficulties, and bring prosperity and success in their personal and professional life. It is said to please Lord Kuber and in turn, he showers his blessings on the devotee, freeing them from financial worries.

The Kuber Chalisa is a devotional hymn consisting of 40 verses dedicated to Lord Kuber, also known as Kubera. Kuber is revered in Hindu mythology as the treasurer of the Gods, the king of Yaksha, and a true representation of wealth, prosperity, and glory. He is also acknowledged as the regent of the North (Dik-pala) and a protector of the world (Lokapala).
Recitation of the Kuber Chalisa, particularly on festivals dedicated to Lord Kuber such as Dhantrayodashi, holds immense significance for devotees seeking the blessings of this deity. It is a common spiritual practice to recite the Kuber Chalisa daily to invite the positive energies of prosperity and abundance. Even a few moments dedicated each day to chanting these divine verses can lead to the blessing of wealth, riches, and material possessions.
Additionally, it is believed that the Kuber Mantra, of which Chalisa is a part, can bring success in all financial matters and provide relief from previous birth karma’s due to which an individual may be facing financial burdens in their present life.
By chanting or reading the Kuber Chalisa, devotees show their reverence to Lord Kuber, thereby seeking his assistance in acquiring wealth and financial prosperity.
Chanting the Kuber Chalisa has several potential benefits associated with spiritual, emotional, and material aspects of life. Here are some of the key benefits:
Reciting the Kuber Chalisa should be done with devotion and sincerity, understanding the meaning of the verses to maximize these benefits.
The recital usually starts with a prayer to Lord Ganesh, requesting him to remove any obstacles in the path of the recital and in the devotee’s life. Then the Kuber Chalisa is recited, each verse describing the glory of Lord Kuber and the blessings he can bestow upon his worshippers. The recital concludes with a final prayer or 'aarti,' where devotees demonstrate their deep reverence and devotion towards Lord Kuber.
Chanting Kuber Chalisa requires sincerity, purity, and respect. This means that it should be recited in a quiet and clean environment, with the devotee having a clean body and mind. The recital is often accompanied by the ringing of bells and done either silently in the mind or softly vocalized. Generally, the best time for recitation is considered to be early morning or twilight.
To chant the Kuber Chalisa effectively, follow these steps:
As the guardian of the world's wealth, Kubera is worshiped in Hindu tradition. Kubera is known to have extended monetary assistance to the deity Venkateshwara (a form of Vishnu) for his marriage to Padmavati. To pay back this debt, devotees travel to Tirupati to offer donations in Venkateshwara's Hundi. Consequently, Kubera is associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and they are sometimes depicted together as Kubera Lakshmi.
Although Kubera is still revered as the god of wealth, much of this role has been taken over by Ganesha, the god of wisdom, fortune, and obstacle removal. Ganesha is often associated with Kubera, reflecting their shared domain over wealth and prosperity.
In Hindu tradition, Lord Kubera, the deity of wealth, is particularly venerated on two significant occasions.
The first auspicious occasion is Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi. This festival is considered the most essential event dedicated to Lord Kubera. On this day, devotees carry out a special worship called Kubera Lakshmi Puja, honoring both Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It's a custom to buy gold on Dhanteras as a sign of good fortune.
The second special occasion is Sharad Purnima, which is celebrated to mark the birthday of Lord Kubera. Prayers and offerings to Kubera on this day hold exceptional significance due to this. Devotees engage in special rites and rituals, worshipping Lord Kubera with utmost devotion, in hope of receiving his blessings of wealth and prosperity.
In the Atharvaveda, where Kubera first appears, and the Shatapatha Brahmana, he is portrayed as the chief of evil spirits or spirits of darkness and the son of Vaishravana. In the Shatapatha Brahmana, he is referred to as the Lord of thieves and criminals. However, in the Manusmriti, Kubera transforms into a respectable lokapala (world protector) and the patron of merchants.
The Mahabharata describes Kubera as the son of Prajapati Pulastya and his wife Idavida, and the brother of sage Vishrava. Additionally, Kubera is said to have been born from a cow. Nonetheless, according to the Puranas, Kubera is the grandson of Pulastya and the son of Vishrava and his wife Ilavida (also known as Ilivila or Devavarnini), who is the daughter of the sage Bharadvaja or Trinabindu.
By this time, Kubera, though still classified as an asura, is offered prayers at the conclusion of ritual sacrifices. Bearing titles such as 'best of kings' and 'Lord of kings', Kubera is believed to have been a man rather than a god, evidenced by the Harivamsa indicating that he was made 'Lord of kings.' In contrast, Indra, the god-king of heaven holds the title of 'best of gods.' Early texts like Gautama Dharmashastra and Apastamba describe Kubera as a man, while only the Grihyasutras of Shankhayana and Hiranyakesin mention him as a god and recommend offerings of meat, sesame seeds, and flowers to him.
