Who is Yudhisthira?
Yudhisthira was the eldest son of King Pandu and Queen Kunti of Hastinapuraand Indraprastha. When Duryodhana's maternal uncle Shakuni challenged him to a game of dice, he could not refuse. Thanks to Shakuni's cheating, Yudhisthira lost each throw, and eventually gambled away his kingdom, his wealth, his brothers and finally, his wife.
He was forced to pay the debt by spending 13 years in exile in the forest, with the condition of anonymity in the last year, before they could reclaim their kingdom.
