Suyadono

Height 85 cm, width 33.5 cm
Order Number: SPC124

Background: He was the eldest Kurawa brother and a great king. He came to the throne when his father Drestarata abdicated. The Pandawa felt that their claims had been ignored. A further cause of strife was the fact that his wife, Banowati, loved Arjuna, and the love was mutual.

On the final night of the Baratayuda, he was the last of the Kurawa chiefs who was alive. At dawn the following day he confronted Bimo. Both armies watched the equal struggle: Bimo was more powerful, but Suyadono was quicker.

Kresna advised Bimo to smash Suyadono’s exposed thigh, although it was against the Satriya rules for single combat. Suyadono fell and was torn to pieces by Bimo’s talons.
