The Pandavas

The Pandavas are the five heroic brothers in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Born to King Pandu and his wives Kunti and Madri, they are Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva. Known for their righteousness, strength, and skill in battle, they faced numerous trials, including exile and betrayal, before ultimately defeating their cousins, the Kauravas, in the great Kurukshetra War. Guided by Lord Krishna, the Pandavas symbolize dharma (righteousness) and the triumph of good over evil.
