Parthu

Parthu is a fictional character who appears in various Indian mythological texts and epics, most notably in connection with the epic Mahabharata. He is often depicted as a brave and skilled warrior.

One of the prominent roles attributed to Parthu is that of a son of King Drupada of Panchala, making him a brother to the princess Draupadi. In this capacity, he plays a part in the events leading up to and during the Kurukshetra War. He is often mentioned among the Pandava allies and is described as fighting valiantly on their side against the Kauravas. His martial prowess is a recurring theme in the narratives where he is featured.

The character of Parthu serves to further flesh out the complex familial and political landscape of the Mahabharata. His lineage and allegiance highlight the alliances and conflicts that defined the era. While not as central a figure as the Pandavas or Kauravas, his presence contributes to the epic's rich tapestry of characters and their individual contributions to the overarching narrative of dharma and conflict.
