Once, Dhritarashtra assigned a few public duties to the Pandavas, and they fulfilled their responsibilities with great devotion, gaining immense popularity among the subjects. Duryodhana, jealous of the Pandavas’ popularity, convinced Dhritarashtra that the Pandavas were a threat to the Kauravas.
Later, Duryodhana, along with Shakuni, hatched a plan to kill the Pandavas.
Purochana, an architect who supported Duryodhana, built a palace, Lakshagriha, in Varanavata, and the palace was made of highly flammable materials like ghee, oil, lacquer, etc.
Dhritarashtra convinced the Pandavas to go to Varanavata along with their mother, Kunti. And Yudhishthira, obeying Dhritarashtra’s order, departed to Varanavata along with his brothers and Mother, Kunti.
