Kaal Bhairav stands resolutely in the southwestern corner of Kathmandu Durbar Square, representing the domains of time and death. The 12-foot-tall idol with six arms is believed to have been made of a single block of stone, brought from Nagarjun during the Malla period. Among the different forms of Bhairav, one can see this deity in plain sight.
The idol is depicted as one stepping over a dead body, holding a decapitated head in one hand. Hence, the statue bears a fierce countenance and is fervently worshipped as a guardian against malevolent forces and misfortune. Devotees seek blessings from the deity to navigate life’s hardships, diseases, poverty, enemies and other challenges. The deity is also believed to be the enraged form of Lord Shiva when the latter wished to teach Lord Brahma a lesson for being arrogant.
