Kal Bhairav Story:
Kal Bhairav is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. There was a day when Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu had an heated argument about their greatness. At the very moment, a large Agnilinga appeared in front of them. They both struggled to see the ends of the Linga but couldn't see it. In that case, Lord Brahma lied to Lord Vishnu that he saw the ends and Lord Vishnu eccepted his failure for not seeing it. And then, Lord Shiva arrived their and asked Lord Brahma to not to lie but Lord Brahma didn't realize his mistake and moreover insulted Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva couldn't resist and created Kaal Bhairav to punish him. Kaal Bhairav on that note cut the fifth head of Lord Brahma and Lord Brahma soon realized his mistake about lying to Lord Vishnu. Lord Brahma asked for an apology and Lord Shiva being kind, accepted the apology and left. Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu resolved their fight and regained knowledge and left their pride and ego.
