This house was built under the orders of Duryodhana and his evil uncle and mentor Shakuni in a plot to kill the Pandavas along with their mother Kunti. The architect Purochana was employed in the building of Lakshagraha in the forest of Varnavrat. The house was meant to be a death trap, since lacquer is highly flammable. The plot itself was such that nobody would suspect foul play and the eventual death of the Pandavas would pass off as an accident. In the Mahabharata this incident is considered as a major turning point, since the Pandavas were considered dead by their cousins, the Kauravas which gave them ample opportunity to prepare themselves for an upcoming and unavoidable war. But at the same time, we find all evidences at Gadchiroli district of eastern Maharashtra. The place is known as Lakkamendha., Where we found glimpses of Lakshagruha. Also, other evidences of Mahabharata are available there. Dhritarashtra affectionately told the Pandavas to go there as the people of Varnavata will also be very happy to receive the sons of Pandu. The unsuspecting Pandavas were easily persuaded. They began their preparations for the journey and took their leave of Bheeshma and other elders. Duryodhana was elated and sent their trusted minister Purochana to Varnavata with secret instructions. However, Vidhura, uncle of the Pandavas came to know of Duryodhana’s evil plan to burn Pandavas alive while sleeping, and alerted Yudhishthira. As narrated in the Mahabharata (Mbh.1.147), the Pandavas reached Varanavat on the eighth day of the month of Phalguna when the star Rohini was in the ascendant. As noted by historians, Varanavat was a large town, (for a town in 3000 BCE time periods) containing more than 1000 (perhaps 5000) inhabitants. The use of vehicles by the inhabitants also indicated a level ground rather than a mountainous terrain. The passage also indicated that the palace for the Pandavas was not ready when they reached the town, and took ten more days to complete. The Pandavas stayed in a temporary house arranged by Purochana and entered the palace once it was complete. Pandavas were astonished by the beautiful palace Duryodhana had built for them. Yudhishthira proceeded to examine the walls and realized they were made up of highly combustible materials. He told his other brothers and mother to behave such as not arouse any suspicion that they were aware of Duryodhana’s plan. Vidhura had sent one of his trusted artisans to dig an underground tunnel leading to the forests surrounding the Palace. On the full moon’s night, the Pandavas gave the night off
