Bhasmasur is a character from Hindu mythology, known for his ability to turn anyone into ashes with a mere touch. He was a demon who gained this power through a boon from Lord Shiva, the supreme deity in Hinduism. However, this boon came with unintended consequences, as Bhasmasur became a threat to the gods and humanity. To counter Bhasmasur's growing power, Lord Vishnu took on the form of Mohini, a beautiful enchantress. Using her charm, she tricked Bhasmasur into touching his own head, leading to his destruction. This story highlights themes of good versus evil and the cleverness of divine intervention.
