Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Ghatotkacha from the Mahabharata.

Karna carried a divine weapon for years — a spear given by the god Indra himself, saved for a single purpose: to kill Arjuna. Most people know this. Almost nobody knows the story of the demon-born warrior who forced Karna to use it before that moment ever came.
