YAKSHAS & YAKSHINIES
Padmavati Devi She is the dedicated deity of Lord Parshvanath, the 23rd Tirthankara. Her color is golden and her vehicle is the snake with a cock's head. She has four arms, and in her her two right hands, she holds a lotus and a rosary. The two left hands hold a fruit and a rein.
Ghantakarna Veer This deity is worshipped for protection and for driving away the evil influence created by lower types of negative energy. His arrow indicates penetration of evil forces. The bow gives forceful momentum to the arrow. His symbol is the bell that resounds to create auspicious sounds in the atmosphere. Sometimes people who are not aware of the facts call him by mistake Ghantakama Mahavira, which creates confusion between Lord Mahavira and Ghantakama Veer. He is not connected to Lord Mahavir in any way.
