This warrior destroyed Kauravas army in Mahabharata

Ghatotkacha was the son of Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, and Hidimbi.

Born with extraordinary powers, Ghatotkacha possessed immense strength and magical abilities inherited from his parents.

He grew up in the forests and became a loyal ally of his uncles, the Pandavas, during the Kurukshetra War.

Ghatotkacha played a crucial role in the war, often using his gigantic size and skill in warfare to devastate the Kaurava army.

One of his most notable feats was when he created havoc in the Kaurava ranks by unleashing his powers as a master illusionist.

Despite his formidable abilities, Ghatotkacha was ultimately slain in battle by the powerful warrior Karna, who used a divine weapon given to him by Lord Indra.

His death deeply saddened Bhima and the Pandavas, as Ghatotkacha was not only a brave warrior but also a beloved son and nephew.
