Mask of Shveta Bhairava Description

The gilded mask of the Shveta (White) Bhairava occupies a niche just to the west of the Degutale Temple. Appropriately - given the angrily distorted features of the god - the carved trellis-work screen seems to offer protection. The image was erected in 1795 by Rana Bahadur Shah who commissioned the large Taleju clock at the same time.
