Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Dear friends, The other name of goddess Meenakshi is Marakata Valli. Marakatha is greenish in color may also mean emerald/jada, so green gods do exist. Yama is also called andhaka which can be meant as dark/black too. So yama dharma raja is not green.
