Bhim Karn (c. 1098 - 1132 CE ) was 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 Kalachuri dynasty.

According to Nag Vanshavali, Bhim Karn had to fight with Haihaiyavansi Raksel of Surguja. Raksel attacked Nagvanshi with 1200 cavalry. But Bhim Karn defeated the Raksel and captured territory up to Barwe and 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.^[1] He shifted his capital which was earlier located at Chutia to Khukhragarh. He made a pond known as Bhim Sagar.^[2] In 2009, At Khukhragarh from excavation, archaeological department found the remains of the Nagvanshi dynasty's fort, an ancient temple complex, coins and pottery dating back to 12th century AD.^[3]
