Who Is Lord Kubera?
Kubera is the guardian of the north direction and the keeper of the treasures of the gods. Often depicted plump, holding a money pot and a mace, he is regarded as the divine accountant who distributes wealth to the deserving. He is closely associated with Goddess Lakshmi, and the two are frequently worshipped together, especially during Dhanteras and Diwali.
The Kubera Beej Mantra

Sanskrit: ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं श्रीं कुबेराय नमः
Transliteration: Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Shreem Kuberaya Namah
Meaning: A salutation to Lord Kubera, invoking the seed sounds of abundance (Shreem), divine energy (Hreem) and attraction (Kleem), inviting his blessings of prosperity.
The Kubera Dhana Mantra
A fuller mantra invoking wealth and well-being.
Sanskrit: ॐ यक्षाय कुबेराय वैश्रवणाय धनधान्याधिपतये धनधान्य समृद्धिं मे देहि दापय स्वाहा
Transliteration: Om Yakshaya Kuberaya Vaishravanaya Dhana-Dhanyadhipataye Dhana-Dhanya Samriddhim Me Dehi Dapaya Swaha

Chanting with a Mala
Using a 108-bead mala helps maintain a steady count and focus. Recite the mantra once per bead with calm attention. Consistency, ideally the same time each day, is traditionally valued more highly than a single long session.
Creating a Sacred Space
Many devotees keep symbols of abundance in the north of their home or worship area. Items traditionally linked with prosperity, such as pyrite, are popular additions. For a wider set of planetary chants, see our navagraha beej mantras guide.
Kubera and Dhanteras
Dhanteras, two days before Diwali, is considered the most auspicious occasion to worship Kubera and Lakshmi together and to begin new wealth practices. To plan your observance, read our Dhanteras 2026 guide.
