Sculpture of Swet Bhainrav

The head of Akash Bhairav, a Hindu deity considered the "god of the sky", is displayed only once a year during the Indrajatra (Yenya) festival to be blessed by the Kumari. During the festival, chhyang (locally made alcohol of rotten rice) is led out of a pipe out of the mouth of Bhairav for people drink it.
