• Story about the Goddess Bhairavi:
• Godess One of the ten Mahavidyas, which are the highest manifestations of Adi Parashakti, each symbolizes a different aspect of cosmic feminine energy, is Bhairavi. It is common to view Bhairavi as the aggressive and flaming representation of the deities Durga or Kali. Her representation of the destruction of evil, righteous anger, and change energy makes her a potent deity in the Shakta and tantric traditions.
• Origin in Myth:
The tale of Goddess Bhairavi is strongly based on the writings of the ancient Devi Mahatmya and Tantra Shastra. One of the most well-known legends claims that the goddesses were unable to defeat the demon Raktabija during the cosmic conflict between good and evil, when he started to multiply with every drop of his blood that fell to the earth.
• In order to combat this, Goddess Kali materialized from Durga's forehead in a frightening apparition. Before Raktabija's blood could reach the ground, she lapped up every last drop of it from the battlefield. This ferocious, blood-drinking avatar, brimming with rage and infinite might, came to be revered as Bhairavi—The Terrible One.
• Bhairavi is linked to Lord Bhairava, Shiva's ferocious incarnation, in another tale. Bhairavi enhances Bhairava's destructive nature by serving as his Shakti (energy), which aids in dispelling ego, ignorance, and illusion.
• Symbolism and Shape:
With a red complexion that shines like a thousand suns, the goddess Bhairavi is frequently portrayed. She is carrying a trident, skull, sword, and book as weapons, as well as a wreath of skulls, which represent the severing of ignorance and the awakening of spiritual wisdom.
• In spite of her frightening visage, Bhairavi is not cruel. Her destruction is a route to complete independence and enlightenment, and she only destroys in order to set free.
• Religious Significance:
The deity Bhairavi removes obstructions and impurities along the way to spiritual development. Particularly in tantric sadhanas, where seekers call upon her to overcome fear, master the mind, and awaken Kundalini Shakti, she is held in high regard. She is the ruler of the Muladhara chakra, the root energy center, in yogic traditions.
• Festivals and Worship:
Depending on local traditions, Bhairavi is widely revered during Navaratri, particularly on the 7th or 8th day (Saptami or Ashtami). Additionally, Kali Puja, Durga Ashtami, and certain tantric rites pay tribute to her for her defense, power, and metamorphosis.
• Although she has fewer temples than other goddesses, they are potent spiritual hubs. One well-known shrine is in Bihar's Chhinnamasta Temple, where she is revered in her tantric form.
• Essentially, Goddess Bhairavi is the brave mother who breaks deception and gives followers the ability to realize their full potential. She is the flame that burns through darkness and exposes the glowing spirit within, being both fierce and kind, frightening and loving.

The practice of positioning deity dolls, such as the Bhairavi Idol, during Navaratri Golu dates back to ancient Tamil Nadu. In the past, these dolls served as symbolic representations of divine forces and were beautifully arranged on tiered steps (Golu Padi) as offerings to honor female divinity. One of the Dasa Mahavidyas (Ten Divine Wisdoms), the goddess Bhairavi, is a symbol of strong force and is revered for her capacity to provide protection and strength.
