Ghatothkach - the Maya Bazaar episode

Mahabharata is one of the most enchanting and enthralling tales ever told. Due to its vastness, there are several characters and incidents of the epic that are not very well known to all. One such example is the story of Ghatothkach.

When one is asked about Ghatothkach, other than him being the Pandava brother Bheema’s son and part of the mighty war, his story remains untold. However, there are several interesting events that took place in the life of Ghatothkach as a kid as well as an adult, which would mesmerize people of all age-groups.

The entire episode is better known as Maya Bazaar, which is filled with magic, romance, fun, thrill and adventure. The protagonist of the series of incidents in Maya Bazaar is none other than Ghatothkach, fondly called Ghattu - son of Hidimba and Bheema. His best friend is a baby elephant Gajju, and their journey of fun and adventure is thoroughly enjoyable!
