Zambala is the lord of wealth and guardian of the Northern Direction. According to Hindu mythology, he is said to have performed austerities for thousand years, in regard to which Bramha gave immortality and made him the god of wealth, guardian of all the treasures of the earth which he has to distribute according to the destiny of the receivers. He is worshipped as one of the most important deities of both the Hindu and Buddhist pantheon.
