As per legends, Lord Kaal Bhairav took form when an enraged Shiva wished to teach Lord Brahma a lesson. ... Therefore, Kaal Bhairav helps to keep one's ego in check. As he cut off Brahma's head with his nail, the skull was stuck and is known as Brahma Kapala. This depiction is found in all Bhairav temples in India.
