• In Jainism, Bhairava is not treated as a principal Tirthankar or Jina. Instead, Bhairava is seen as a guardian deity (Yaksha) associated with certain Jain temples, especially around Parshwanath worship. This guardian role is common in Jain temple practice, where a Bhairava shrine or image sits near the main Tirthankar idol to protect and bless the temple complex. You’ll find examples of Bhairava as a temple guardian in Jain sites and Jain world discussions of Yakshas and Yakshinis. ( jainknowledge.com, jainworld.com)

• A well-known Jain Bhairava is Nākoḍā Bhairava (Nakoda Bhairava), who is depicted with four arms and specific symbolic implements. In Jain temples, Nākoḍā Bhairava is often found beside or near Parshwanath images, and devotees seek worldly and material blessings from him within the proper temple context. This form is described in Jain sources that discuss Nakoda Bhairava as a guardian deity linked to the Parshwanath complex. ( jainknowledge.com)

• Important note on scope: In mainstream Jainism, the “Ashta Bhairava” forms (eight forms known in Hindu contexts) are not part of Jain canonical practice. The Jain tradition emphasizes guardian Yakshas like Nākoḍā Bhairava in specific temple contexts, rather than a formal, doctrinal list of Bhairava forms. For this reason, you’ll see Jain discussions focused on Nakoda Bhairava as a temple guardian rather than a Jyotish or sadhana framework of multiple Bhairava forms. See Jain world and temple guardianship discussions for context. ( jainworld.com)
