Tirtha: Kapālī Bhairava-kṣetra
Type: kshetra

Scene: A northern precinct with a fierce yet protective Kapālī Bhairava icon—garlanded, holding kapāla, with a dog mount nearby; devotees approach with folded hands, their fear visibly soothed.
Bhairava, as guardian of sacred space, is praised as the remover of fear and the giver of well-being to sincere devotees.
The kṣetra north of the pond, presided over by Kapālī Bhairava.
