Lord Kala Bhairava, a manifestation of Shiva, has chosen a dog as his vehicle. In fact, dogs have always been associated with different forms of Shiva. It is even believed that dogs are an incarnation of Bhairava. Kala Bhairava is called protector, as he guards the eight directions of the universe. In all Hindu temples there is a Bhairava idol. He is seen as the guardian of the temple, and when the temple is closed, the keys are placed before him. Bhairava is also described as the protector of women. Goddess Bhairavi is the consort of Lord Kala Bhairava. She is one of the 10 Mahavidyas and also called Tripurabhairavi. Tripura Sundari and Tripura Bhairavi are closely associated but different.
