Duryodhan, the crest jewel of the Kaurava race, along with his younger brothers and warriors like Bhisma, Drona, Karna and others, breathed his last in the great Mahabharata war. On the other hand, the Pandavas and their wife Draupadi started for their eternal journey to the heavenly planets. In order to end the mal-administration, growing lack of discipline and anarchy of the past days and to re-establish religious truth, Lord Sri Krishna, the King of Dwaraka, destroyed His own race. Later, Sri Krishna was struck by the poisonous arrow of hunter Jara Savar.
