In Hinduism, Arjuna was one of the heroes of the epic Mahabharata. He was one of the five sons of the king Pandu and his wife Kunti. However, he was born in the image of Lord Indra through a boon Kunti received from Durvaasa rishi. Arjuna was the third of the five Pandava brothers. He was a close friend of Krishna, one incarnation of the supreme God Vishnu.

Arjuna was the supreme archer and is remembered as the best warrior archer of his time (although Bhima destroyed a vast majority of the Kaurava army and killed all the Kaurava princes). The Bhagavad Gita is a record of the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna.
