'''Bhim Karn''' (c. 1098 - 1132 CE ) was [[Nagvanshis of Chotanagpur|Nagvanshi]] king in 12th century. He succeeded Gandharv Rai. The change of title of Nagvanshi kings from Rai to Karn may be due to victory over or alliance with descedant of [[Lakshmikarna]] of [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuri dynasty]].

According to ''Nag Vanshavali'', Bhim Karn had to fight with [[Haihaiyavansi Kingdom|Haihaiyavansi]] [[Raksel dynasty|Raksel]] of [[Surguja]]. Raksel attacked Nagvanshi with 1200 cavalry. But Bhim Karn defeated the Raksel and captured territory up to Barwe and [[Palamu district|Palamu]]. He established his rule in Barwe and Tori which is now located in [[Latehar district]]. He took away idol of Basu Dev Rai from Raksel kings.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iYXy1XXNCKoC&dq=%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%80&pg=PA33|title=Jharkhand Encyclopedia Hulgulanon Ki Partidhwaniyan-1|access-date=9 December 2019}}</ref> He shifted his capital which was earlier located at Chutia to [[Khukhragarh]].
