Today, six bodies were about to be lifted from the palace of Hastinapur. The whole state was in mourning. The last memory of King Dhritarashtra's brother Pandu was lying dead in the white sheet in the court. Last night, the five Pandus, along with Mata Kunti, died a painful death. Six bodies arrived in the Hastinapur assembly with this message. Seeing the condition of these bodies, everyone in the court was shivering. These bodies were so burnt that even the bones were visible. It felt as if someone had pulled out every single drop of life from the body. These bodies were taken for the last rites. All the Kauravas, including Duryodhana, had tears in their eyes. With full respect, Mata Kunti and the five Pandavas were bid farewell to this world. But Duryodhana always wanted to get the Pandavas out of his way. Why was he sad? If the Pandavas had died, then how was the battle of Mahabharata fought? Is it just a story or does it have anything to do with the truth? There are many unsolved mysteries hidden in Mahabharata. Lakshagriha was a palace built with such things that catch fire very quickly. But the Pandavas were unaware of all this. The Pandavas came to Varnavrat to see a festival and started living in this palace. One night, they organized a feast for all the citizens of the palace. But it was not an ordinary night. The next morning, the palace was crowded. The people of Varnavrat found seven burnt bodies inside the palace. One of them was of Purochana and the other six were of a woman and her five sons. All the citizens went to the court of Dhritarashtra with this news. A wave of mourning broke out in the court and the last rites of the six bodies were performed with full respect. But if the Pandavas had really died, then how was the battle of Mahabharata fought? Were the Pandavas alive? To answer this question, let's go back a little in this story. When the conspiracy of the Lakshagriha was being created in the palace of Dhritarashtra, then Vidur, the uncle of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, realized that there was something wrong with the rhythm. As soon as Vidur got information about this conspiracy, he warned the Pandavas. And then the Pandavas built a tunnel in the Lakshagriha. That night, the Pandavas themselves set that palace on fire and then escaped from there with the help of the tunnel. But now the question is, if the Pandavas were safe, then whose were the six bodies whose last rites were performed? This body belonged to a woman and her five sons who had come to the palace for dinner that night. And they were intoxicated with alcohol and were left inside the palace. Unknowingly, they all came under the fire and this body was found by the people of Varnavrat. Who were cremated as the Pandavas.

We have often heard that the plan of the Lakshagriha was made by Duryodhana along with Shakuni and Karna. But even before this incident, kanika had sowed the seeds of this conspiracy. Dhritarashtra had a feeling of insecurity about the Pandavas in his mind that he might take away his kingdom from them. Gradually, this feeling increased so much that Dhritarashtra could not sleep at night. To solve this problem, he called his most cunning and trustworthy minister, Kanika. Kanika explained to Dhritarashtra that when the enemy becomes powerful, it should be thrown from the roots. Because with a dead person, his followers and his principals also die. And in the same way, if there were no Pandavas there would be no problems Kanika only advised Dhritarashtra that there are four ways to defeat the enemy. Compromise, the power of wealth, the use of force or the feeling of discrimination. That is, Sama, Dam, Danda and Bhed.
With a last-ditch bet, the story of Hastinapur changed. Yudhishtir had played such a bet in which the loss was certain and that's what happened. After losing all his property, his kingdom and even his wife's honor, it was now time for the punishment of the Pandavas. Twelve years of exile and one year of anonymity. A time when the Pandavas had to live in secrecy. If anyone recognized them, they would have to spend another twelve years of exile. After living in the forest for twelve years, the Pandavas had to find a place where no one could find them and no one could recognize them. And that's why Yudhishtir chose Viratnagar. He believed that he would have no problem in the kingdom of King Virat and it would take a long time to reach Duryodhan. To hide his identity, the five Pandavas and Draupadi took different forms. Yudhishtir took the form of a Brahmin named Kank, who later became the advisor minister of King Virat. Bheem took the form of the royal cook Ballav Maharaj. Similarly, Nakul took the form of a charioteer of a chariot. Sahadev became a Gadarya named Tantipal and Draupadi took the form of a maid named Sairandri. But Arjun's form was the most different. Actually, once Arjun insulted a fairy named Urvashi. Because of this, Urvashi cursed Arjun that Arjun would lose his masculinity and become impotent. Arjun was upset about this. He apologized to Urvashi and started praying to take back this curse. Urvashi accepted his prayer, but she could not take back her curse. She said that this curse would be true for only one year. Arjun would be able to choose when the curse would start. So, when it was time to change his form, Arjun took the form of a dancer named Brinla. He started teaching dance to King Virat's daughter, Uttara. The biggest challenge for the Pandavas was that they had to hide their identity. Draupadi was the biggest threat. Draupadi was so beautiful that anyone could be attracted to her. After months of the Pandavas' exile, King Virat's daughter, Rani Sudeshna's brother, Kichak, entered the city and cast his evil eye on Draupadi. Kichak asked Rani Sudeshna to send Draupadi, that is, Sairandri, to her. When Draupadi reached there, Kichak forcibly grabbed Draupadi and pulled her towards his room. Then Draupadi freed herself from his grip and ran away. As soon as Bheem came to know about this, he got very angry. He told Draupadi to call Kichak to a deserted place. As soon as he got this news, Kichak was very happy. But there Bheem grabbed and killed him when Duryodhan found out about Kichak's death, he knew for sure that somehow the Pandavs were in Viratnagar Duryodhan knew that Kichak was very powerful and it was very difficult to kill him. Thinking this, Duryodhan took his army and attacked Viratnagar and captured Raja Virat. After Raja Virat, Rajkumar Uttar took command of the battle and his charioteer on his chariot was Arjun. This is how the battle between Kauravas and Pandavas started which later became the epic battle of Kurukshetra.
