Kaal Bhairav at Hanuman Dhoka

According to Wikipedia, this 12-foot (3.7 m) high stone image of Kaal Bhairav was sculpted in the 5th or 6th century and later rediscovered in paddy field in the 17th century CE by King Pratap Malla. It was believed that people die if they speak false in front of this sculpture. So, this temple served as the supreme court of Nepal for a long time.
