Shiva is his most fierce form as Bhairava with hair blazing and fangs exposed. He holds a skull cup, trident, noose and drum encircled with a cobra. He is naked having only a cobra encircling his waist. He is accompanied by a dog, a fit companion for Shiva in his beggar form.
The Story Behind Shiva as Bhairava: Bhairava represents the destructive manifestation of Shiva. This form is the most violent representation of Shiva, since it is linked to the myth of the decapitation of Brahma, the Creator. In the puranas. Brahma, wanting to be recognized as the supreme deity, asked Vishnu to worship him, since he was the creator of the universe. Brahma's pretense angered Shiva, who considered himself as the creator and most supreme of all gods. Shiva's anger was manifest in the form of Bhairava. The enraged Bhairava beheaded one of Brahma's heads. To expiate his crime of killing a brahmin, Bhairava was condemned to wander as a hermit and survive by begging until he was cleared of his sin in the holy city of Varanasi.
