A horrendous demon with a bottomless appetite for human flesh, Bakasura is a nightmare come to life. After committing countless atrocities, Bakasura has demonstrated no end to his depravity, no limits to his brutality, no sating his desire to slurp human meat, crunch bone, and guzzle hot blood. So many are his vile victories over mankind that they cannot be relayed here, yet it is his defeat at the hands of a man that is worth the telling. As legend has it, the famous Pandava brothers were traveling with their mother, Kunti when they came to the village of Ekachakra. They discovered that a demon, Bakasura, was living outside the village, devouring the people as they passed through the woods. The chief went to the demon and begged that the feasting stop. In return, a cart of food would be sent to Bakasura each day. Bakasura consumed not only the provisions, but the person that brought the cart as well. After hearing this tale from a weeping woman whose son would bear the cart on the morrow, Kunti declared that her son Bheema, who possessed impossible strength and had slain demons before, would take the cart instead.
