In Hindu mythology, one of the five heroic Pandava brothers from the epic Mahabharata, known for his enormous strength and fierce personality.
From Sanskrit भीम (bhīma) meaning 'terrible,' 'fearful,' or 'awesome,' derived from the root भी (bhī) meaning 'to fear.' The name was chosen to reflect his intimidating physical power and temperament.
Bhima is arguably the most physically powerful figure in the Mahabharata—he's described as having the strength of 10,000 elephants and vows to drink the blood of his enemies. His raw power and directness contrast with his more diplomatic brothers, making him a symbol of strength untempered by political cunning in Indian literature.
