Shri Kaal Bhairav Mandir (Kotwal of Kashi), Varanasi

श्री काल भैरव मंदिर (काशी के कोतवाल) • वाराणसी • Baba Kaal Bhairav (Supreme Magistrate & Kotwal of Kashi)

In the Shiva Purana (Koti Rudra Samhita), Kaal Bhairav manifested from the brow of Lord Shiva to sever the arrogant fifth head of Brahma. When the skull (Kapala) finally dropped from His hand upon entering Kashi at Kapalmochan Tirtha, Shiva appointed Kaal Bhairav as the eternal Kotwal (ruler and protector) of Varanasi.
