Order Number: SPC12

Background: His mother, Dewi Kunti, while still an unmarried virgin was seduced by Surya, the Sun-God. She gave birth to Karno and bandoned the new-born baby, who was brought up by a simple charioteer and taken into service by the eldest of the Kurawa.

She later gave birth to the Pandawa. Karno fought on the side of the Kurawas as to do otherwise would have shown ingratitude.

He was therefore at war with his younger brothers. On the fifth day of he last war, he was killed by his half-brother, Arjuna, using his magic arrow, Pasopati.

He symbolizes triumph over low social origins and snobbery.
