The Bhairav Lake is named after one of the destructive avatars of Lord Shiva, who embodies anger and destruction. Bhairav is a Hindu deity, and the lake is sacred to Hindus and Jains alike. The deity is worshipped throughout India and Nepal. Bhairava is also called a protector, as he guards the eight directions of the universe. In all Hindu temples, there will be a Bhairava idol. This Bhairava is the protector of the temple. In Shiva temples, when the temple is closed, the keys are placed before Bhairava. Bhairava is also described as the protector of women. He is described as the protector of the timid and, in general, timid women.
