Goddess Bhairavi is the fierce form of Hindu Goddess Parvati Maa, and is virtually indistinguishable from Kali. 

Goddess Bhairavi - One of 10 Mahavidyas 

Goddess Bhairavi is one of the 10 Mahavidyas and is the consort of Bhairava form of Shiva. Goddess Bhairavi is also known as Shubhamkari, which literally means the one who is good to good people and dreadful to bad ones. The goddess is also known by the names Baala or Tripurabhairavi.

Goddess Bhairavi is depicted with dark greyish red skin and three eyes and four hands. She holds a book and a rosary on her other two hands are in Abhaya Mudra and Vara Mudhra. She wears a moon on her crown. In some image depictions she is seen wearing a garland of skulls and carrying a trishula (trident), parashu (axe) and vajra (thunderbolt).

Bhairavi is considered as a warrior goddess. Her fierce appearance in the battle field makes the demons weak and feeble. In the Durga Saptashati version, Bhairavi is seen as Goddess Chandi who slays the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. She also killed and drank the blood of Chanda and Munda; so Parvati Devi gave her a boon that she would be known as Chamundeshwari.

There are numerous temples in India dedicated to Goddess Bhairavi as Baala Tripura Devi. The Vimala Temple inside Jagannath Puri Temple complex is one of her famous shrine. Linga Bhairavi Temple at Isha Yoga Center in Kovai, Tamil Nadu and Bhairavi Shakti Peeth Temple at Gokarna Kathmandu, Nepal are other popular shrines.
