![]() Ghatotkacha grows up under the care of Hidimbi. Indra bestows on Ghaṭotkacha prowess enough to be a suitable opponent to Karna. Later, Ghatotkacha is born to Hidimbi and Bhima. The Pandavas agree to the proposal on the condition that once a child is born to Hidimbi, they'd have to continue their peregrinations. Hidimbi then approaches Kunti and requests Bhima's hand in marriage. Impatient at the delay, Hidimba runs towards the Pandavas but is slain by Bhima. She alerts the Pandavas to her brother's demands, pleading with them to leave the forest however, Bhima refuses. She is attracted to Bhima and prays for the return of her love. Hidimbi goes to the Pandavas in the guise of a beautiful woman. While they were sleeping the demon chief Hidimba in the forest sees the Pandavas from the top of a tree, and he appoints his sister Hidimbi to bring them to him for food. On the burning of the ' Lakshagriha', the Pandavas escape through a tunnel and reached a forest.
