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.
