Jvarasura, The Personification of Fever

Jvarasura, is the personification of fever in Hindu tradition, Jvarasura meaning ‘fever’ in many Indian languages. He is the consort, and sometimes the attendant, of the pox-goddess, Shitala.

According to one legend, Jvarasura was born out of sweat of the fore-head of meditating Shiva and was a threat to the Devas. Once Vishnu was inflicted with the fever of Javarasura, when in the form of Haya-griva. He then killed the fever-demon by cutting him into three pieces using his cosmic-disk weapon, the Sudarshana Chakra. However, Jvarasura was later revived by Brahma, who joined the three parts. But by that time each three parts had grown a head and a limb. Thus Jvarasura is depicted as having three faces, three feet and remarkable ability to move in all directions at once.

The cult of Shitala-Jvarasura is widely popular in Bengali culture.
