Lord Bhairava is a significant deity in Hinduism. He is a powerful manifestation of Lord Shiva and holds a prominent place in Hindu culture and spiritual practices. Bhairava is often depicted with a fierce and terrifying appearance. However, here he is shown with a neutral/serene expression and fits in beautifully with the other Golu dolls. Bhairavar represents the destructive aspects of Lord Shiva's personality. He is the embodiment of annihilation and is believed to destroy negative energies, evil forces, and ignorance. As a form of Shiva, Bhairavar reminds us of the impermanence of life and the passage of time. Bhairavar is regarded as a fierce guardian and protector of devotees. His presence is believed to safeguard devotees from malevolent influences and offer them courage and strength to face life's challenges. He is a vital part of Shakti worship - one must first ask for his blessings before worshipping the divine Goddess. This makes him a vital addition to any Golu display. Golu is a doll and figurine tradition, performed during the festival of Navaratri - a period of 9 days dedicated to the worship of the Goddess. It is a padi (set of steps) decorated with Bommais (dolls), of all shapes and sizes. Each doll represents a Hindu figure or a classic story. With intricate detail and vibrant colours, this clay Bhairavar bommai doll is an important addition to your Navaratri Golu display.
