Pandava

In the Hindu epic Mahābhārata, the Pandava (or Pandawa) brothers (Sanskrit: पाण्‍डव pāṇḍavaḥ) are the five acknowledged sons of Pandu (Sanskrit: पांडु), by his two wives Kunti and Madri. Their names are Yudhishtira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva. All five brothers were married to one woman, Draupadi. Together, they fought and prevailed in a war against the party of their cousins the Kauravas, the climax of which was the Battle of Kurukshetra. Their alienated half-brother Karna fought against them and was eventually slain by Arjuna.

The Indian Mythology focuses on the brothers "Pandawa Lima" (translated to English: The Five Pandawas). They are:

The sons of Kunti (Devi Kunti):

* Yudistira: Puntadewa, Dharmasuta, Dharmaputra, Dharmawangsa, Samiaji
* Arjuna: Harjuna, Partha, Janaka
* Bhima (Bima): Bayusuta, Werkodara

The sons of Madri (Devi Madri):

* Nakula and
* Sahadeva: Sadewa

According to legend those five children came from the lineage of distinctive gods of the Hindus. They were the personification and the begotten sons of:

* God of Wisdom and Justice, Dharma - father to Yudistira.
* God of Wind, Vayu - father to Bhima.
* God of Heaven, Indra - father to Arjuna.
* Twin Gods of Medicine Ashwini Kumaras - father to the twins, Nakula and Sahadeva.
