His family comes from the village of Bawla near Ahmedabad. Legend has it that the village was the place where Bakasur was killed by Bhima.

I am not disputing the above but here is what i know.There is a place called bodhan in AP close MH border ( 15 to 20 KM North West) and KN ( 60 KM south west). One of the areas is called Raaksi peta which has small hill top which is called Bhimuni Gutta ( Bhima's hill)
Old town is little more than 2 kms from Raakasi peta.
Legend has it that Bakasura was living in Raaksi Peta ( hence the name ) and after Bhima killed in on that hilltop they renamed it as Bhimuni Gutta)
IF you go to the Bhimuni Gutta they say they still have the foot print of Bhima in Stone carving. ( suppose to be huge )
