Gomukha
Gomukha, c. 8th century, Gurjara-Pratihara

In Jain cosmology, Gomukha is the guardian god or Yaksha (attendant deity) of Rishabhanatha, the first Tirthankara. ^{[1] [2]}

Gomukha along with Dharanendra is the most popular yaksha in Jainism. ^{[3] [4] [5]}

According to Jain tradition, Gomukha is depicted as two or four armed yaksha riding on an elephant. ^[6] As the name suggests, gomukha has the head of a bull. ^{[7] [8]} Gomukha carries a goad in left hand and noose in left. In other two lower arms gomukha carries varada and conch. ^[9] The yaksha-yakshi pair sculptures of Gomukha- Chakreshwari are one of the most favoured along with Ambika- Sarvanubhuti and Dharanendra- Padmavati. ^[10] The image of Gomukha yaksha in Ellora caves is noteworthy. ^[11]
