Bekenbei - God of Justice in Turkish mythology. It provides justice on earth. It protects just people. The judges ask him for help to make the right decisions. He has a large mace with sharp teeth in his hand. He punishes those who violate justice with this mace. Justice is one of the most important elements of society and it is said that there were judges who tried and even punished the khans and sultans without fear without fear in Turkish history. In a story about Ottoman history, the judge who tried a sultan showed the mace he was hiding behind, saying "I would have hit your head with this if he hadn't accepted the sentence I gave him". The mace is an object that symbolizes justice. But it emphasizes that force will be used when necessary to establish this justice. The desire for justice is present wherever human beings exist, and it arose because of the desire for order and the feeling of revenge that human beings feel when their right is defeated.
