Maharajika
Maharajika (Dewanagari: महाराजिक; IAST: Mahārājika) adalah kelompok dewata kecil dalam kepercayaan Hindu, yang terdiri dari kisaran 220 hingga 236 dewa.[1][2] Pustaka Purana menyebut Maharajika sebagai salah satu golongan dewata selain Aditya, Rudra, Wasu, Wiswedewa, Tusita, Abaswara, Anila, dan Sadya.[3][4] Kadangkala mereka digolongkan sebagai dewa,[5] atau ganadewa.[6] Menurut Siwapurana, para Maharajika berperan sebagai pengabdi Siwa, di bawah kepemimpinan Ganesa. Mereka bermarkas di puncak Ganaparwata, letaknya di Kailasa.[7]
