Bhairav
Bhairav is a significant figure in Hindu tradition, often regarded as a fierce and powerful form of the god Shiva. He embodies the destructive aspect necessary for transformation and renewal in the universe. Depicted with a fierce expression, sometimes with a skull or serpent, Bhairav symbolizes the removal of ignorance and fear. Despite his intimidating appearance, he is also revered as a protector and guide for spiritual seekers. Bhairav’s worship emphasizes mastering inner fears, overcoming obstacles, and embracing both destruction and creation as essential parts of cosmic balance.
