About one of the incarnations of Shiva in ancient Indian culture, Peiyou

Peiyou, a nine-faced body, naked and black, with thirty-four arms and sixteen-footed angry body. It literally means fearful or terrifying, and is a Hindu god. Its appearance is fierce, and it is said to be the incarnation of Shiva . The legend of accompaniment originated from the struggle between Brahma and Vishnu.

Photographed in Kathmandu, Nepal, many years ago.

In Indian mythology, Brahma once argued with Vishnu as to who is the greatest god in the universe. Brahma believes that he is the creator of the world and deserves the highest respect. An angry Shiva, transformed into a companion, suddenly appeared and cut off Brahma's fifth head. After that, Brahma had only four heads left (that is, the origin of the present Four-faced God).

and Pei Tong is called Pelava or Pei Tong ( Sanskrit : भैरव, Bhairava Thai transliteration Peelab), and Thai Pyla pronunciation are very similar.

However, I personally believe that is not the same subject as the companion of the Indian Shiva sect. It is not the same deity. There are indeed common cultural symbols between the two, but in essence, the two belong to different systems and have different origins, functions and purposes.
