Description

Kal Bhairav ou Kala (noir) Bhairab (partie supérieure) ou encore Bhairava Sculpture monolithique de date indéterminée, installée à Katmandou par le roi Pratap Malla.

Ce dieu noir lié au rite tantrique, appelé aussi Mahakal, est une forme terrifiante de Shiva qui est considéré comme un juge suprême.

Le dieu dispose de six bras et porte une guirlande de crânes, il écrase un cadavre symbolisant l'ignorance des hommes.
