Hug of Dhritarashtra

Dhritarashtra was the father of kouravas . During Mahabharata war , each and every son of Dhritarashtra  got killed by their rivals Pandavas .

Though Dhritarashtra is blind physically , he was blind in morality sense too . Dhritarashtra had supported each and every action of his son Duryodhana without thinking if it is right or wrong .


Dhritarashtra is believed to have the power of 1000 elephants . His embrace was so powerful that it would crush anything he embraced , to pieces .

 Dhritarashtra had come to know the death of his elder son Duryodhan in the hands of Bheem . After Mahabharata war , victorious Pandavas had come to seek the blessings of Dhritarashtra and his wife and to ask for forgiveness .

Krishna accompanied Pandavas . Pandavas one by one started bowing to Dhritarashtra telling their names . But when it was the turn of Bhim , Krishna asked Bhima to stay back , and forwarded his look a like statue infront of Dhritarashtra .


As Dhritarashtra was blind , he embraced the statue thinking it as Bhim so tightly that it was broken into pieces .


After he got calmed down , he regretted for his action of crushing Bhim . But he was told that it was the statue of Bhim which got crushed and real Bhim is safe .


This incident shows how much Dhritarashtra was mightier though he was blind physically .
