The fierceness of Bhairava is fused with the calmness of Shiva in this most magnificent 8-foot large sculpture of the Hindu god, made in granite but brimming with a flow of divine life.
On an altar that adds grandeur to the statue, the dark-skinned Lord appears, adorned with a massive fiery halo, jewelry that surpasses the beauty of heaven’s jewels, a girdle of the serpent, and Yajnopavita or sacred thread of skulls.
His Jatamukuta is embellished with a skull, symbolizing the ultimate truth of life- its momentariness. Bhairava is accompanied by a black dog, his mount and trusted companion, also a manifestation of his powers.
With a Tripunda on the forehead, large animated eyes, and inwardly smiling lips, this granite sculpture makes one forget that Bhairava is the embodiment of Shiva’s wrath. Who knew wrath could be so beautiful?
