¤ Temple Also Associated With The Cult of Tantra

The city of Ujjain has numerous shrines dedicated to Bhairava, a fierce manifestation of Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe.The Kalbhairava Temple is also believed to be associated with the cult of Tantra, an unorthodox secret cult with strong black magic overtones. Although Tantra practices on the sly are said to keep the enemy at bay, missing the target can spell doom to the practitioner.
Many sadhus or holy men with ash-smeared bodies and long matted hair may easily be spotted around this temple.

Pieces of sculptured stones depict deities from the Hindu pantheon along with Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe. A Shiva linga (symbolic phallus of Shiva) is enshrinedunder a banyan tree inside the periphery of the temple opposite Nandi the Bull, who is said to have transported Shiva into battle against the demons. Nandi is the embodiment of power and loyalty. According to a legend, the bull was given to Shiva and Parvati as a wedding present from Daksha, Parvati’s father.
According to Puranas Shree Kalbhairav is considered to be the chieftain of the spirits created by Shree Madadev, invariably , when there is a Temple of Shree Mahadev, there is also a Temple of Bhairav however one sees the idol of Shree Kalbhairav specially in company of Shree Kamaksha. Just as in the North and the South , there are also Temples of Jyotiba, Bhairoba etc. in the regions of Maharashtra. In Konkan and Gomantak there are a number of Kalbhairava Temples. It is believed that if one remembers "Kalbhairav" at the time of going to bed, one is free from all ill effects of the spirits.

Even the Time ( Kal) is scared of the "Bhairav" Deity and therefore it is named "Kalbhairav". This has been mentioned by Shri Shankaracharya in his " Kalbhairavastak"
