Bhim Ki Dungari, Viratnagar

Bhim Ki Dungari is a large cave, located in Virat Nagar and is famous due to the mythological tales associated with it. People believe that after losing everything to the Kauravas, the Pandavas were forced to go to exile for 12 years and an additional one year of disguised banishment.

During the 13th year (Agyatwas), the Pandavas lived in disguise in Virat nagar, the kingdom of King Virat. The strongest of the five brothers, Bhim, chose to live in this cave (Bhim Ki Dungari) during this period. He loved cooking and eating, and hence, served as the royal cook in King Virat's palace.
