Mahabharat presents the story of the throne of Hastinapur, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan where the Kauravas and the Pandavas brothers compete for rulership. Both Duryodhan and Yudhisthir claim to be first in line to inherit the throne. Duryodhan, younger than Yudhisthir, the eldest Pandav.
Kunti obtained a boon from sage Durvasa, where she could invoke any deity and could bear his child. Out of curiosity, she decided to test the boon and uttered the mantra calling upon the Sun god and was handed a baby, Karna. Kunti, an unwed mother, set Karn afloat on the river Ganga with a heavy heart, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having a child before marriage. After her marriage to Pandu, Kunti invoked other deities and had her sons, Yudhishtir, Bhim, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev(from Madri). Neither Karn, nor the Pandavas knew the true identity of Karn until the end of the Kurukshetra War. Karn fought against misfortune throughout his life, and was often ill-treated as he was the son of a charioteer.(Adirath, a charioteer and his wife Radha found Karna on the banks of river Ganga and raised him as their own.) Duryodhan, the mortal enemy of the Pandavas was the only person who supported Karn, even when the Pandava brothers insulted him for being a skilled archer while belonging to a lower caste. Thus Karn made a vow to protect Duryodhan throughout his lifetime and fought on his behalf against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War.
