Kal Bhairab
 |
|
| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
| Bhairab is Shiva in his most fearsome aspect and this huge stone image of the terrifying Kal Bhairab has six arms, wears a garland of skulls and tramples a corpse, symbolic of mankind's ignorance. The figure was said to have been brought here by Pratap Malla, having been found in a field to the north of the city. The image was originally cut from a single stone although the upper right-hand side has been repaired with another stone, and the sun and moon to the left and the lions at the top are later additions. It is said that telling a lie while standing before Kal Bhairab will bring instant death and it was once used as a form of trial by ordeal! |
