The Angry Version of Lord Shiva – Kalashtami

What is Kalashtami?

Kalashtami is also known as Bhairava Ashtami or Bhairava Jayanti. The day is celebrated as the birthday of Bhairava. He is the manifestation of Lord Shiva. When Lord Shiva takes up his angry avatar then comes the wrathful and fearsome Bhairava.

In the hills of Vaishnodevi, Jammu, on the day of Kalashtami, a gold or silver idol of Lord Bhairava is made and kept in a brass metal pot filled with water. It is worshipped and people offer gifts and prayers all day.

Falls on the day ?

Ashtami meaning eighth lunar day. Kalashtami falls on the eighth day in Krishna paksha. There are total twelve Kalashtami days in a year. If they fall on Tuesday or Sunday, they are considered even more pure and holy.

The Story Behind

According to the legendary story, Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva were debating on the topic that who is superior to whom. Lord Shiva got angry with Lord Brahma’s remarks and ordered Bhairava, his aggressive manifestation to cut off Lord Brahma’s head. Thus Lord Brahma became four headed. Watching the sight, everyone was in fear and started worshipping Lord Bhairava to protect themselves from his wrath.
