Uttarā (Mahabharata)

Wife of Abhimanyu in epic Mahabharata

Uttarā was the princess of Matsya, as described in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. She was the daughter of King Virata and Queen Sudeshna, at whose court the Pandavas spent a year in concealment during their exile. During that period, she learned music and dance from Arjuna, the third Pandava, and later married his son, Abhimanyu. Unfortunately, Uttarā was widowed at a young age during the Kurukshetra War. Following the Pandavas' victory in the war, she and her unborn son were attacked by the enemy warrior Ashwatthama, but they were saved by the divine intervention of Krishna. Her son Parikshit saved the Kuru lineage from extinction and became a well-known monarch celebrated in both the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata Purana.
