Surya putra karan
Karna was the son of Surya and Kunti, born to Kunti before her marriage with Pandu. Karna was the closest friend of Duryodhana and fought on his behalf, against the Pandavas (his brothers) in the Kurukshetra war. It is believed that Karna founded the city of Karnal, in present Haryana.As a young woman, Kunti, the princess of the Mathura Kingdom, had been granted a boon by the sage Durvasa to be able to invoke any deity to give her a child. Eager to test the power, while still unmarried, she called upon the solar deity Surya and was handed a son, Karna, wearing armour (Kavacha) and a pair of earrings (Kundala). Afraid of being an unwed mother and having an illegitimate son, Kunti placed the baby in a basket and set him afloat on a river. The child was found by Adhiratha, a charioteer of King Dhritarashtra of Hastinapur. Adhiratha and his wife Radha raised the boy as their own son and named him Vasusena. He also came to be known as Radheya, the son of Radha.
He became interested in the art of warfare and joined the gurukul of Dronacharya, an established teacher who taught the Kuru princes and there he befriended Duryodhana. When Karna approached for Brahmastra he refused to teach Karna as he realised that he would use it for evil purpose However, according to some versions of the tale, appreciating Karna's boldness, Drona told Adhiratha to call his son "Karna".[2] After being refused by Drona, Karna wanted to learn advanced archery skills and hence he decided to learn from Parashurama, Drona's own guru.
As Parashurama only taught Brahmins, Karna appeared before him as such and lied that he was a Brahmin. Parashurama accepted him and trained him to a point that he declared Karna to be equal to himself in the art of warfare and archery. But when he realised that he had been cheated, Parashurama accused Karna of stealing knowledge, and laid a curse upon his student that he would forget the knowledge required to wield the Brahmastra.
Upon Karna's pleading, the guru relented and modified his curse, so that Karna would only lose the knowledge when he needed it most while fighting against an equal warrior.[citation needed] This curse would come to haunt him in his final fight against Arjuna. Rewarding Karna's diligence, Parashurama gave him his personal celestial weapon Bhargavastra.[3] On the way back to Hastinapur, Karna killed a cow which belonged to a poor Brahmin.The Brahmin got angry and cursed him that he would die if and only if he became helpless in the same way that the Brahmin's innocent cow had died.[4]

Meeting Duryodhana
To display the skills of the Kuru princes, their guru Dronacharya arranged a friendly tournament. His student Arjuna, third of the Pandava brothers, was a gifted archer. Karna arrived at this tournament, uninvited, and seeing Arjuna's feats, challenged him to a duel. Kripacharya refused Karna his duel, asking first for his clan and kingdom; for according to the rules of dueling, only a prince could challenge Arjuna to a duel. Due to his low standing, Karna was not allowed to fight Arjuna. He was further insulted by Bhima who compared him to a stray dog, for his mixed caste and lineage. This incident marked the beginning of a feud between Karna and the Pandavas.[5][6] Duryodhana, the eldest of the one hundred sons of the king Dhritarashtra, was envious of the martial prowess of his cousins, the Pandavas. He saw Karna as a chance to get on even terms with them, so he offered Karna the throne of the Kingdom of Anga immediately, thus making Karna a king and eligible to duel with Arjuna.[7] Neither of them knew that Karna was Kunti's eldest son. When Karna asked him what he could do to repay him, Duryodhana told him that all he wanted was his friendship.[8] Karna later married women belonging to the Suta caste, as per the wishes of his foster father Adiratha.. he also fight with jarasandh.
