Bhairava is a 1900 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a scene with a central figure riding a black horse, surrounded by two attendants. The central figure is dressed in a yellow and orange outfit, holding a cup in one hand and a staff in the other. The horse is adorned with a yellow and orange saddle, while the attendants wear similar attire. In the background, there are various objects and symbols, including a fan, a flag, and a plant. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of movement and energy, with the central figure appearing to be in motion. This painting is reminiscent of the works held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A painting in opaque watercolor on paper depicts Bhairava riding a black dog, accompanied by two Bairagis holding drawn swords. The work is a fragment of a scroll painting created by an artist from the Jadu Patus caste. The fragment was purchased as part of a group of items (IS. 90 to 128-1954) for £150 from Maggs Bros.
