• Bakasura, also rendered Baka, is a rakshasa featured in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The rakshasa lives in a forest which nowadays known as "Gangani" located near Garhbeta town of the Indian state of West Bengal. In exchange for protecting the kingdom from invaders, he terrorises its citizens, eating them at will. The weak king is rendered helpless. The people come to an arrangement with their tormentor. They would send him large provisions of food every week, which he would consume, along with the cart-driver who delivered them. In order to save the life of their Brahmin host when it is his turn to deliver the cartload, Bhima is eventually sent out to kill Bakasura, under the direction of his mother, Kunti.

Intersting Story about the Golu doll set:
Pandavas and Kunti visit a Brahmin family in Ekachakrapura after Bhima's wedding to Hidimbi. They hear about their distress and learn about a rakshasa named Bakasura who defended the people in exchange for food deliveries. Kunti convinces the Brahmins to sacrifice no one for the rakshasa's depredations and sends her son, Bhima, to vanquish the rakshasa. Bhima delivers the food and eats it, leading Bakasura to attack Bhima. Bhima breaks Bakasura's body, and Bhima assures his friends and family that they will be safe as long as they give up human flesh. Bhima places Bakasura's corpse on the cartload and tells the grateful Brahmins.
