Guruvani Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Is he/she a god or demon? In Hinduism, Nirṛti is one of the Guardians of the directions, representing the southwest. She was originally a goddess of death, connected with Devi, who later became the male Guardian. The gender shift also involved a union with Nirṛta, the masculine aspect of the female Nirṛti. Lokapālas In Hinduism the Guardians of the four cardinal directions are called the Lokapālas (लोकपाल). They are: Kubera (north) Yama (south) Indra (east) Varuṇa (west) these are male gods.
