Sorry, I didnt get a chance to post it here the other days because of the bad keyboard I have with me right now!
Anyways, here s the story:
His name is Yamaraj aka Yama. He rides in a black water buffalo. He is red in skin color. He holds a loop of rope in his left hand with which he pulls the soul from the corpse. He also holds a huge mace in his right hand. He has a crown with two horns such as the buffalo. He is the son of the Sun God aka Lord Surya or Surya Deva in their language. He was worshipped as a good figure. He was not considered evil because even hell, he treats everyone equally. Interesting???
