Danku
Danku is a giant from Bengali folklore known for his incredible strength and his role in shaping the landscape of the Bengal region. These folktales explain the origin of megalithic structures, large boulders, and hill formations found throughout the Bengali countryside. Danku is characterized as a simple-minded giant who can be helpful when approached correctly but is also prone to fits of rage when disrespected. Like many giant figures in world folklore, Danku represents the human encounter with monumental landscapes and the effort to explain geological features through mythological storytel
