Ekalavya after giving Gurudakshina
We all know that Ekalavya was practising archery alone. He wanted to learn it from Dronacharya. He met Drona and expressed his wish. But Drona refused to teach him since Drona is branded as master who teaches archery to princes.
But Ekalavya came back to forest, made an idol of Drona and started practising archery. Soon he became an expert in archery. When Drona had come for hunting with his students, he met Ekalavya and came to know that he has become expert in archery just by practising himself.
Drona had asked Ekalavya's thumb as gurudakshina . Ekalavya didnt think that after that, he cant get practice in archery. He instataneously gave the gurudakshina by cutting his thumb. But after that, it has become difficult for him to practice archery.
But he continued to practice. Finally ,he joined King Jarasandha's army . He breathed his last when there was a battle between Jarasandha and Shri Krishna. A great maestro's era has ended with that.
