Dronacharya is a name that echoes through the halls of India’s ancient epic, the Mahabharata. He wasn’t just a teacher; he was a master of warfare, a sculptor of warriors, and a man burdened by the weight of loyalty and duty.

Born a Brahmin of modest norms, young Dronacharya displayed an exceptional talent for martial arts from an early age. His skills, however, went unrecognized until he met the princes of the Kuru kingdom during a chance encounter in the forest. Instantly impressed, they became his first students, forging a bond that would alter the course of history.
