About Kaalashtami
Each lunar month on Krishna Paksha Ashtami, devotees of Bhairava — Shiva's skull-bearing form who beheaded Brahma's fifth head — keep a night-long vigil. Because the fast must fall when Ashtami covers the night, it sometimes shifts back to Saptami. Dogs, his vahana, are fed as part of the worship.
