Gandhari is a Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. Gandhari is the Daughter of King Subala in Gandhara. Gandhari's marriage was arranged to Dhritarashtra, the eldest prince of the Hastinapur.
Gandhari voluntarily blindfolded herself throughout her married life. Her husband Dhritarashtra was born blind, and on meeting him and realizing this, she decided to protest silently by blindfolding herself to in order to make the Bheeshma feel the guilt.
Gandhari bore a hundred sons, (the Call of Kauravas). Gandhari’s eldest son of Duryodhana, Dushasana and one daughter Dushala was married Jayadratha.
Gandhari was also devout; in particular an ardent worshipper of Lord Shiva. Gandhari's sacrifice of her eyesight and her austere life was to grant her great spiritual power. Gandhari made a single exception to her blindfolded state, when she removed her blindfold to see Duryodhana rendering his entire body except his loins invulnerable to any foe. This was however to prove fruitless as Bhima smashed Duryodhana's thighs in their decisive encounter on the eighteenth day of the Kurukshetra battle, a move both literally and figuratively below the belt.
