Bhairava originally means “fearsome or fearful”. He is also known as the destroyer of fear or the one who is beyond fear. One interpretation is that he protects his followers from terrible enemies, greed, lust, fear and anger. These enemies are dangerous because they never allow people to seek God/Almighty within themselves. There is also another interpretation: Bha means creation, Ra means preservation and Va means destruction.Bhairava is therefore the one who creates, sustains and dissolves the three phases of life. Then he becomes the last or highest. One of the ancient temples of Kala Bhairava is located in the city of Dhuri (Sangur district) in Punjab. The Kala Bhairava idol in the temple was discovered hundreds of years ago.Kala Bhairava is said to live here. Kashmiris (Gorat) are known to worship Bhairava during Shivratri.
