He is the king of the Ghandarvas, who are celestial musicians (minor gods/goddesses). The male Ghandarvas play instruments and the females are divine dancers. They are happy devas — usually you are reborn as a Ghandarva if you have good ethics in your past life. They look like beautiful deities with instruments or dancing.
He is King of the EAST.

BEST BUDDHIST PRACTICES: For any meditation, mantra or contemplation it is always beneficial to start with your Refuge in the Three Jewels:
“I take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha until I attain Enlightenment.”
If you are a Tibetan Buddhist or Vajrayana Buddhist you can also add in the Three Roots: “I also take refuge in Guru, Yidam and Dakini.”
At the end always make your Bodhichitta dedication:
“I dedicate the merit to the benefit of all sentient beings.”
These two, together with your meditation or mantra session and your heart-felt compassion, makes it a meritorious complete Buddhist practice.
