Subhadra

Jagannath, also known as Krishna(far right) with his brother Balarama(far left) and sister Subhadra (center) in Radhadesh, Belgium

Subhadra is the half-sister of Krishna. She is considered an incarnation of Maya, who appears as per the instructions of Krishna. Subhadra was married to her nominal cousin Arjuna the Pandava, the third son of Kunti.

Subhadra and Arjuna were the parents of Abhimanyu, whose posthumous son Parikshita, born to the widowed Uttara, was the sole surviving heir of the entire Kuru family. When Pandavas left for heavens after coronating Parikshita as king, they left Subhadra as his guide and mentor.

The epic Mahabharata is a story that tells of the Kuru family and the Pandavas. Subhadra is an important figure in that epic.
