Ashta Bhairava Names
Ashta Bhairavas (“Eight Bhairavas”) are eight manifestations of the Hindu god Bhairava, a ferocious aspect of the god Shiva. They guard and control the eight directions. Each Bhairava has eight sub-Bhairavas under him. All of the Bhairavas are ruled and controlled by Maha Kala Bhairava(shown in picture), who is considered the supreme ruler of time of the universe and the chief form of Bhairava.
