Duryodhana

Duryodhana is a key figure in the Indian epic Mahabharata, known as the eldest of the Kauravas, a royal family involved in a dynastic struggle for power. He is often portrayed as ambitious and envious, particularly towards his cousins, the Pandavas, whom he opposes in a great war (the Kurukshetra War). Duryodhana's character embodies themes of rivalry, loyalty, and the consequences of pride, making him both a villain and a complex figure in the narrative. His actions and decisions drive much of the epic's conflict, highlighting the moral dilemmas of duty and righteousness.
