Legend

In Kashi Vishwanath legend, when Lord Shiva gets angry on Lord Brahma , he creates a dangerous form called Kaalbhairava . Bhairava beheaded one of Brahma’s ×ve headsand since then Brahma has only four heads. When depicted as Kala Bhairava, Bhairavais shown carrying the decapitated head of Brahma. Cutting off Brahma’s ×fth headmade him guilty of the crime of killing, and as a result, he was forced to carry aroundthe head for years and roam as Bhikshatana, a mendicant, until he had been absolvedof the sin.His head was released when he reached the city of Kashi . From there on helived in the city of Kashi and started guarding it. Hence he is called The Kotwal ofKashi. No one can enter Kashi without the permission of Bhairava.
