Brass Kaal Bhairava Idol: Rare Mahakala Bhairav Statue

Bhairava, a Hindu Tantric deity, is a fierce manifestation of Rudra or Shiva associated with annihilation. He is also known as Dandapani, holding a rod or Danda to punish sinners, and Swaswa, meaning 'whose horse is a dog'. The name Bhairava originates from the word bhīru, which means 'fearful', signifying his terribly fearful form. Bhairava is also known as the one who destroys fear and protects his devotees from dreadful enemies such as greed, lust, and anger, which prevent humans from seeking God within.

Another interpretation of Bhairava is that 'Bha' represents creation, 'ra' symbolizes sustenance, and 'va' signifies destruction. Thus, Bhairava is the deity who encompasses all three stages of life: creation, sustenance, and dissolution, making him the ultimate or supreme being.

One notable depiction of Bhairava is the brass idol Kaal Bhairav, who is regarded as the Guru of the planetary deity Shani (Saturn). This idol features Bhairava with eight hands, each holding a unique object. The dimensions of the idol are approximately 325 inches (LWH), and it is made of pure solid brass metal. This vintage collectible statue is ideal for followers of Hindu mythology and can be used as a unique decor piece or Puja accessory.
