Kabhanda is a Rakshasa that is mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana. He is described as an enormous giant shaped like a barrel and covered with hair. He has 8 arms and his face is located in his torso, which has one eye. This unusual appearance is due to a battle with the god Indra, during which his legs were cut off and his head was driven into his torso.
