Shakuni

Shakuni is a prominent character from the Indian epic, the Mahabharata.

Known for his cunning and strategic mind, Shakuni played a crucial role in the events leading up to the great Kurukshetra War. He is often depicted as a master manipulator, using deceit and trickery, particularly during the infamous game of dice that led to the downfall of the Pandavas. His character symbolizes betrayal, rivalry, and the complex nature of dharma (duty).
