Swet Bhairav

Swet Bhairav is the biggest idol of Bhairav in the entire world depicting the dangerous facet of Lord Shiva. Swet Bhairav is only opened in the entire span of the Indrajatra festival. During the festival, chhyang (locally made alcohol of rotten rice) is led out of a pipe out of the mouth of Bhairav and people rise on other's shoulders to drink it. The entire celebration is called Hatha Keu in Newari language (Nepal Bhasa), the community who celebrates the jatra.
