Bhairavi is a fierce and terrifying aspect of the Goddess virtually indistinguishable from Kali, except for her particular identification as the consort of the Wrathful Shiva.

Bhairavi is a raaga in Indian Classical Music. Traditionally it is a morning Raga. In modern time, it is sung as a conclusion of concerts. It is the defining raga of its own thaat, and it characteristic "Pa Ma Ga Ma Ga" is easily to identify.
