Explanation

Purochan (Purochana) was a trusted servant of the Kauravas who constructed the Laksha Griha (House of Lac/Wax) at Varanavata. The house was designed to be highly flammable - the lac would ignite and burn down rapidly, killing the Pandavas inside. Thanks to Vidura's warning, the Pandavas escaped through an underground tunnel, and a Nishada woman and her five sons died instead. Vishwakarma is the divine architect; Shakuni and Dushyasana were Kaurava princes but not the architect.
