Abhimanyu


Abhimanyu is a legendary warrior from the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata. He was born to the third Pandava prince Arjuna and Yadava princess Subhadra, who was also Krishna's sister. He is believed to be an incarnation of Varchas, son of Chandra. Abhimanyu was raised by his mother and maternal relatives as his father Arjuna, along with his 4 brothers and wife, was sent into Vanvas for 13 years. After his father's return Abhimanyu married Uttarā, the princess of Matsya. During the Kurukshetra War, Abhimanyu fought by his father's side. On the thirteenth day of the war, the mightiest Kaurava warriors came together and formed the Chakravyuha, the young Abhimanyu was able to penetrate it, but could never make his way out, and was slain inside it, fighting them all alone. His son, Parikshit, was the one who saved the lineage from extinction and went onto become a legendary king.
