The Trident Bearer and His Shadow
Picture Bhairav as a figure steeped in the deep shadows of midnight, skin matte and blue-black, with eyes brightly shining gold. His hair rises like black flames, wild and undomesticated, and a string of tiny white skulls rests around his neck. Ashen marks glow subtly on his robust chest. He wields a simple, sharp trident and a kapala bowl, symbols of his wisdom and discernment. A faithful black dog stands beside him, ever-watchful, the perfect counterpart to his presence.
