She was the one who saved Bhima, bore his son, stood by the family that killed her brother, and ultimately sacrificed her only child—Ghatotkacha, the first Pandava grandson—for a war that never truly embraced her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eMaster storyteller Kavita Kane gives a resonant, fierce voice to this legendary woman in \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"89\"\u003eBhima’s Wife\u003c\/i\u003e.
