Kaal Bhairav: A terrifying but helpful element of Lord Shiva who often associates with time, destruction and are also transformation. He serves as the city of Kashi (Varanasi) supreme ruler and is thought to be the ultimate protector.
Kaal Bhairav encompasses an intricate range of characteristics as both an awe-inspiring figure and one who represent other qualities, which make him terrifying. He is often portrayed as being violent and angry because he rules over time (Kaal) and can wipe everything out. But he is also seen as someone people are blessed with favors from him in that they receive freedom after yielding to him. Such is the duality reflected in Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam; it touches on such dualism within its narrative.

In Hindu philosophy, time is not simply seen as a linear progress from the past to the future but instead represents a cyclical force that creates, sustains and destroys.
