Bagh Bhairab or Simha Bhairava, depicted in this silver statue from Nepal is a potent aspect of Shiva as Bhairva or the fierce one. Bhairava holding a skull cup and a sword, wearing human skull ornaments is riding a roaring tiger, whose posture complements the ferociousness of its rider. Bhairva’s flaming tresses, the positioning of his arms and legs, and the body of the tiger in this silver statue come together to bring superb dynamism to the icon. Charging swiftly on the forces of evil, Bhairava annihilates all evil from the lives of his devotees.
