Amulets of Yama (Hindu God of the dead and lord of the underworld).

🔥 Yama in Hinduism 🔥

In the Vedic and Puranic traditions, Yama is the god of Death and Justice (Dharmarāja). He presides over the afterlife ( Naraka ), judges souls according to their actions (karma), and oversees cosmic order (dharma). He is often depicted riding a buffalo , carrying the knot/rope and staff , symbols of law and rectitude. Amulets dedicated to him are sought for moral clarity , protection from danger , and a peaceful relationship with impermanence .

🪔 Yamantaka (Tibetan Buddhism) 🪔

Yamantaka (" destroyer of death "), a wrathful manifestation of wisdom (traditionally linked to Mañjuśrī), subdues Yama and represents victory over ultimate fear . In Vajrayāna iconography, he may bear multiple heads and limbs, holding weapons of discernment , sometimes standing on Yama or a buffalo—an image of the transformation of obstacles into the path of enlightenment. Yamantaka amulets are prized for energetic protection , the cutting of illusions , and inner determination.

🔱 Phaya Yom (Thailand) 🔱

In Thailand, Phaya Yom (or Phra Yom / Phaya Yommarat ) refers to the arbiter of fate who governs the afterlife ( Narok ) and applies the law of karma. Thai culture has made him a serious but fair guardian . Phaya Yom amulets, often derived from monastic blessings, are worn for longevity , prevention of dangers and psychological stability in the face of critical periods (illnesses, accidents, karmic decisions).
