Chitragupt Mandir By Apurv Shrivastva
Chitragupta (Sanskrit: चित्रगुप्त, 'rich in secrets' or 'hidden picture') is a Hindu god assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth and punish or reward them according to their Karmas. He is god of justice therefore known as Dharmaraja. Upon their death, Chitragupta has the task of deciding heaven or the hell for the humans, depending on their actions on the earth. Chitragupta Maharaj is the seventeenth Manasputra of Lord Brahma and thus, allotted the right to write Vedas like Brahmins with the duty of a Kshatriya (Chitragupta is the patron deity of Kayasthas, a Hindu caste of India and Nepal), because of which Chitraguptavanshi Kayasthas are considered as Vedic Suryavanshi Brahmakshatriyas.
