Who was Duryodhana’s wife
Many people know about Duryodhana, but do you know with whom Duryodhana was married and what was the name of Duryodhana’s wife. Let us tell you that Duryodhana’s wife’s name was Bhanumati. Bhanumati was the daughter of King Chandravarma of Kamboj. Along with being skilled in many arts, she was also beautiful, attractive and intelligent. Bhanumati’s father announced Swayamvara for her marriage. Kings and emperors from far and wide and more than one stalwart participated in this Swayamvar. Shishupala, Jarasandha, Rukmi, Vakra, Duryodhana and Karna also participated in Swayamvar.
Bhanumati started moving forward with garland for Swayamvar. Duryodhana was fascinated by the beautiful form of Bhanumati. But Bhanumati’s attention did not fall on Duryodhana and she started moving forward with the garland. Then Duryodhana himself forcefully put the garland around his neck from the hands of Bhanumati and made Bhanumati his wife.
Duryodhana and Bhanumati had two children
Bhanumati gave birth to two twin children from Duryodhana. The son’s name was Lakshmana and the daughter’s name was Lakshmana. Lakshmana was killed by Abhimanyu in the Mahabharata war and daughter Lakshmana was married to Samba, the son born from Jambavanti of Lord Krishna.
This phrase made in the name of Pandora
‘Somewhere a brick, somewhere a snag, Pandora added a family’. This proverb in the name of Bhanumati is still said in the city and village. Actually this saying was made because Bhanumati herself did not choose Duryodhana as her husband. Rather, Duryodhana had forcibly married Bhanumati with the help of Karna in Swayamvar. Duryodhana and Bhanumati’s daughter Lakshmana was abducted by Krishna’s son Samba. For this reason this saying was made, which is still prevalent today.
