Source-derived summary

Gamraj is an Indian comic book character, one of a number of titles published by Raj Comics.

Plot summary

Gamraj is the fictional son of Yamraj, the god of death in Hindu Mythology. He has been living on earth among normal people as he has been very emotional and sentimental and requested his father to allow him to go and live on earth as he wanted to help the people here. His father permitted him to go but he also sent Yamunda, the buffalo who was the son of Yamraj's buffalo, Mahish. Yamunda has heavenly powers of disappearing and can appear when Gamraj calls him and also he can transform into any vehicle he wants.

On Earth, Gamraj met Shankalu who has been living with his wife Ratalu and their 12 kids who help Gamraj in solving people's problems along with their own (as Yamunda is a regular ride for Shankalu's family).

Lanky likeable teenager who always laughs his troubles away.

Gamraj has a knack of inviting troubles and landing himself into the soup.

T-shirt and jeans are his standard wear.

Bizarre characters confront Gamraj creating hilarious comic scenes laced with suspense and thrills.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Gamraj” is comics character. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Gamraj, comics and character, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 194-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Gamraj, comics and character is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “comics character” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5520395. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
