Lord Shiva has taken many forms for the welfare of the creation, whose glory is immense. Kaal Bhairav is considered to be the most fierce form of Lord Shiva. He is also called Dandadhipati and Dandapani. According to mythology (Kaal Bhairav origin story), Lord Shiva took the form of Kaal Bhairav to punish Brahma Ji. It is believed that Brahma Dev had become arrogant that he was the creator of the universe and due to this pride, he started insulting all the gods and goddesses. This angered Mahadev and then he took the form of Kaal Bhairav.
I had to go to Kashi for repentance
Before this incident, Brahma Ji had five heads. To destroy his ego, Kaal Bhairav Ji cut off one of the five heads of Brahma Dev with his trident. To repent for this incident, Lord Shiva had to wander as a beggar till he reached Kashi and it was here that Kaal Bhairav Ji got relief from the burden of his sins.
The aim was to eradicate the evils
However, Kaal Bhairav was incarnated to eliminate ego, pride and other evils that lead to the downfall of everyone. Thus, Brahma also realized his mistake and apologized for it.
