Kala Bhairava

myminifactory

This sculpture portrays Kala Bhairava, a fierce incarnation of Shiva, the all-powerful Hindu deity in charge of time within this universe, fiercely guarding temples and women - as well as those who are timid by nature. The representation typically features blazing lotus eyes, fiery hair, tiger's teeth, a snake wrapped around his neck or crown, and an unsettling garland of human skulls. Often intimidating, Kala Bhairava wields a trident, a drum, and the severed fifth head of Brahma.
