The Kala Bhairav or Black Bhairav is a 3m-high statue depicting a sword-wielding, terror-inducing manifestation of Shiva trampling on some unfortunate victim. Local lore has it that the image was found on the Nagarjun mountain on the western rim of the Kathmandu Valley and brought to its current place by King Pratapa Malla. Once the image was set up in Durbar Square, royal courtiers had to swear oaths of allegiance in front of it and witnesses in criminal cases had to testify in its presence. It was believed that anybody telling lies in front of Kala Bhairav would immediately die. Kala Bhairav also demanded blood sacrifices and until today numerous animals are slaughtered in front of the figure during the festival of Dassain. Bhairava sometimes known as Kala Bhairava, is a Hindu deity, a fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation. He originated in Hindu mythology and is sacred to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains alike. He is worshipped in Nepal, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil N

In Buddhist mythology, the Yaka (Yaksha or Yak) are the attendants of Vaisravaa, the Guardian of the Northern Quarter, a beneficent god who protects the righteous. The term also refers to the Twelve Heavenly Generals who guard Bhaiajyaguru, the Medicine Buddha. Wat Arun Rajwararam (Temple of the Dawn), full name Wat Arunratchawararam Ratchaworamahawihan, is a Thai Buddhist temple on the Thonburi west bank side of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. It is named after Aruna, the Indian God of Dawn. A monastery has stood here since the Ayutthayan period (1351 - 1767), but the temple's outstanding feature, the Khmer-style central prang, was not begun until 1809, during the reign of King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai (Rama II).
