Bakasura (Sanskrit: बकासुर) or Vakasura is the crane asura killed by the Hindu god Krishna. He was an evil friend of King Kamsa and the brother of Putana and Aghasura. He was sent by him in the form of a huge crane to kill Krishna so that the boy would not be able to kill the king, which was seen as a prophecy of the man’s downfall. Bakasura was then killed by Krishna when the boy pushed his beak until it snapped like a twig.
