Depiction

The images of

  1. Veerabhadra depict the anger and ferocity of Shiva. In destructive mood, he wears a garland of skulls, and with four arms holding four different kinds of weapons. Veerabhadra is a warrior god who was worshiped during wars in ancient and medieval periods. As an incarnation of Shiva, described as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet; wielding a thousand clubs; and wearing a tiger’s skin. 
  2. His consort Bhadrakali also came into being by Mother Devi’s wrath. Although auspicious, Bhadrakali assumes a fierce aspect, and is represented with three eyes, and four, twelve or eighteen hands. She carries a number of weapons, with flames flowing from her head, and a small tusk protruding from her mouth.


represents

In the Daksha episode,

  1. Shiva or virabhadra represents the Higher Self; 
  2. Sati or Shakti represents the heart and 
  3. Daksha represents the ego. 
Thus the representation here is that the Higher Self destroys the ego for the sake of the heart.Through compassion the higher self forgives the ego but still withdraws to remember the essence of the heart
