Architecture
Swet Bhairav is a statue of Bhairava, avatar of Shiva located in Hanuman Dhoka, Kathmandu Durbar Square. Swet Bhairav depicts the most dangerous and fierce face of Lord Shiva. The mask of Swet Bhairab is so fierce looking that locals out of fear keep it inside a wooden frame window, and only one frame is opened for the devotees except for a special festival Indra Jatra.
