⚔️ Bhima vs. Jarasandha
The most famous wrestling match in Indian mythology — a 27-day bout described in the Mahabharata (Sabha Parva). Krishna acts as second to Bhima. Jarasandha, whose body reunites when split, is finally defeated when Krishna signals Bhima to split him lengthways and throw each half in opposite directions.
