Kaal bhairav: Disastrous Shiva

 Kaal bhairav is well known by Hindu religious because he was the disastrous form of lord shiva. His evolution had hilarious story in the history as written in Shiva puran. 

Once lord Vishnu and Bramha had a fight for showing greatness in own power. Vishnu claimed that he was greatest than Bramha and Bramha assumed that he had lots of power than him. They started fight by using their weapons bramhastra and Narayanastra. Through their weapons, lots of fire had been evolved and expand all over the world. All the deities were worried about the destruction of world by evolving of entire fire 🔥. Lord shiva took the form of four handed kaal bhairav  and form the highest pillar of fire after getting into bombardment. Vishnu and Bramha were worried about the creation of lord shiva.

Both competitors challenged to find the top of the pillar so they moulded themselves as Bird and Barah form and flew for finding the peak. They became tired and returned back to the ground. But Bramha had lied to vishnu that he saw the top of the fire pillar and ordered to lose the game to Lord Vishnu. Bhairav was furious to Bramha because he lied to Vishnu. Bhairav cut the fifth head of Bramha through which lying sentences were vocalised after that he carried that head.

 As a result of violence, Bhairav was accused of BrahmanHatya ( Brahminicide) so he wanted to clean that sin. He roamed around every  where sacred places but he didn't get the desired result. When he approached to Kashi, his sin was forgiven by God. The head of Bramha fell down after forgiveness. The head is known as " Bramha Kapal". The place where bramha head fell down is religious place, people went there for worship. This place is called Bramha Kapal temple or Badrinath

There are lots of Bhairav temple in Nepal also. One famous is in Basantapir Durbar square.
