Dharmaraja

Dharmaraja, often translated as the "King of Dharma," is a concept in Hinduism representing the supreme principle of righteousness, justice, and moral order. It signifies the divine authority governing ethical conduct and the cosmic balance of good and evil. As an archetype, Dharmaraja embodies the ideal judge and protector of dharma (righteousness), ensuring that moral laws are upheld in the universe. The term also refers to Yama, the god of death and justice, who presides over moral judgment after death, rewarding or punishing souls based on their actions during life.
