Kichaka is King
Virata's brother-in-law in the Mahabharata, the second of the two major Hindu
epics.
During the year when the five Pandava brothers (the epic's
heroes) travel incognito after twelve years of forest exile, King Virata is
their host.
Kichaka is drawn to Draupadi, the Pandavas' common wife, who
works as an attendant to one of the royal women at this period.
Despite her cries, Kichaka pursues her and punches her as
she attempts to flee.
When Bhima, one of Draupadi's husbands, finds what has
transpired, he is furious.
On the pretext of yielding to his impulses, he urges
Draupadi to arrange a covert rendezvous with Kichaka.
Bhima disguises himself as Draupadi and kills `Kichaka with
his own hands when he comes.
