Book: Mahabharata Characters

Bhanumati is referenced in certain Mahabharata traditions as the wife of Duryodhana. Though not detailed extensively in the main text, regional or later narratives describe her as a royal princess who becomes Duryodhana’s spouse.

### Background
- **Possible Father**: Some versions suggest she might be the princess of Kalinga or a related kingdom.
- **Marriage**: Betrothed or won by Duryodhana in a swayamvara or alliance, depending on interpretations.

### Role & Personality
- **Limited Mentions**: Main epic doesn’t elaborate much on her life.
- **Allegiance to Kauravas**: As Duryodhana’s wife, stands by the Kaurava family, though overshadowed by larger conflicts.
