| | Duryodhana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Duryodhana is mentored by his maternal uncle Shakuni, who desires the elevation of his sister's children at the expense of the Pandavas. | | | In Ayyavazhi religion, in its holy book, Akilattirattu Ammanai, Duryodhana was said to be the fifth fragment of the six fragments of Kroni, the primordial personification of evil. | | | Duryodhana attempts to murder Bhima by feeding him a poisoned feast, but Bhima survives due to his immense physical capacity and blessings from celestial Nagas. |
