The name
"Bhairava" is derived from the word "Bhīru," meaning
"fearful" or "terrifying." Bhairava's appearance is
awe-inspiring, with fearsome countenance. He is often depicted adorned with a
garland of skulls, symbolising the ephemeral nature of life and the transient
nature of the material world; also associated with the cremation grounds,
signifying the transient nature of life and the impermanence of the physical
body - Bhairava serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the
necessity of detachment from worldly attachments to attain spiritual
liberation.
