History of EKLAVYA™

THE LEGEND

In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, EKLAVYA is a young

prince of the Nishadha, a confederation of jungle

tribes in Ancient India, who aspires to study archery

in the Gurukul of Dronacharya.

After being rejected by Drona on account of his not

being of Kshatriya lineage, EKLAVYA embarks upon a

program of self-study in the presence of a clay image

of Drona.

He achieves a level of skill superior to that of Arjuna,

Drona's favourite and most accomplished pupil.
