Kaal Bhairav is a fierce form of Shiva associated with annihilation. People worship Kaal Bhairav for courage and happiness. Lord Kaal Bhairav is also known as Dandapani because he holds a rod (Danda) in his hand for the evil spirits. Tuesday and Sunday are considered to be auspicious days for praying, and he protects his devotees from greed, anger and lust. A day on which people worship Kaal Bhairav, is also called Kaal Bhairav Jayanti.
