Dronacharya's Gurukula
Product details
This popular scene from the Epic Mahabharata illustrates Dronacharya’s bird eye test.
Dronacharya overheard Duryodhana accusing him of favouring Arjuna and ignoring the rest. To prove him wrong, Dronacharya placed a wooden bird on a branch and decided to put everyone through a simple test.
He gathered all his pupils and asked them to strike the eye of the wooden bird. But before letting them set their arrows loose, he asked each one of them a question. ” What do you see there?”.
Arjuna is the one who replied that he saw the eye of the bird, and he struck it exactly with his arrow and was the only one to pass the test, hence proving that was indeed the best archer amongst the Kauravas & Pandavas.
