Karna is a legendary warrior from the Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic. Known for his unmatched bravery, archery skills, and sense of honor, Karna is often portrayed as a tragic hero. He was born to the princess Kunti and the Sun god, Surya, but was raised by a charioteer family, which led to his lifelong struggle with questions of identity and acceptance.
Despite his noble origins, Karna faced discrimination due to his caste and remained loyal to Duryodhana, the antagonist of the Mahabharata, who accepted him when others did not. Karna is renowned for his unbreakable spirit, his generosity once giving away his divine armor and earrings as charity and his unwavering adherence to personal ethics, even when it led to his downfall. His character is marked by complex themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the search for respect and recognition.
