Story of Purochan
Purochan was an architect and one of Duryodhan’s trusted aides. He created the Lakshagrah (the Palace of Lac). He used hemp, resin and other inflammable materials to build the palace. Purochan was instructed to put the palace on fire at night while the Pandavas slept. Vidur sent word to the Pandavs about Duryodhan’s evil plan. A deep tunnel was dug under the palace to help the Pandavs to escape. After a few weeks, the Pandavs escaped while Bhim lit a fire where Purochan was sleeping. Purochan was burnt to death in this fire.
