It may be worth mentioning that Shiva is di erent from udra, which is yet another
manifestation of Shiva( Actually the pronunciation is Siva).
“Kaal Bhairava is an erce incarnation of Lord Shiva. The term Bhairava means
“Terri c”.
He is o en depicted with frowning, angry eyes and sharp, tiger’s teeth and aming
hair, stark naked except for garlands of skulls and a coiled snake about his neck.
In his four hands he carries a noose, trident, drum, and skull. He is o en shown
accompanied by a dog. Once Brahma insulted Lord Shiva and his h head teasingly
laughed at Lord Shiva.
From Lord Shiva came out the Kalabhairava (Black Bhairava) who tore o the h
head of Lord Brahma.
On the entreaties of Lord Vishnu, Shiva pardoned Lord Brahma. But the sin (in the
form of a lady) of beheading Lord Brahma followed Kalabhairava everywhere. Also
the head of Brahma stuck to him. To keep away the sin and punishment which were
chasing him, Kalabhairava entered the city of Benaras ( now Varanasi ). The sin could
not enter the city. Kalabhairava was made as the Kotwal (Inspector) of the city of
Varanasi. Bhairava rides on a dog.

Who has with him Indrani Shakthi, is being well praised and rides on an elephant.

Super reading. Near Talaivasal of Salem, a Bhairava Temple is there. The Bhairava
pooja will be conducted at Midnight 12 . Worship of Bhairavar will send enemies
packing. Also our worries will be solved. Thanks for the eight super photos.

I just noticed that in the shlokas, the name is correctly written- uru Bhairava. It’s
the description above that had the mistake (or typo, if it was a typo). Many thanks.

Just thought I’d make a couple of minor corrections: It is U U Bhairava and not
Guru Bhairava. Also, ‘Kalabhairava’ does not mean Black Bhairava; he has
aadhipatya over the march of time (kaal) which is why the name.
Many thanks for posting all this information.

1.Shall check on uru Bhairava.
2.Kaala Bhairava , I am aware , is the Lord of Time.If i have made any observation
to the contrary, it is incorrect.Kaala Bhairava is mentioned as Black. This attribute
is probably due to the concept of Time as A Black Abyss.Thanks and Regds
