Where did Drona go when he was insulted by Drupada?
-
Hastinapura
-
Indraprastha
-
Kishkinda
-
Panchala
After being insulted by his childhood friend Drupada, who refused to acknowledge him as an equal, Drona went to Hastinapura. There he became the royal guru, teaching archery and warfare to both the Pandava and Kaurava princes. Indraprastha was the Pandavas' capital, Kishkindha was the monkey kingdom from Ramayana, and Panchala was Drupada's kingdom.
To answer this question, we need to have some knowledge of the epic Mahabharata.
When Drona was insulted by Drupada, he left the kingdom of Panchala and went to Hastinapura.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Hastinapura - This option is correct because Drona went to Hastinapura after being insulted by Drupada.
Option B) Indraprastha - This option is incorrect. Although Indraprastha is a significant place in the Mahabharata, Drona did not go there when he was insulted by Drupada.
Option C) Kishkinda - This option is incorrect. Kishkinda is the kingdom of the monkey-king Sugriva in the epic Ramayana, and Drona did not go there when he was insulted by Drupada.
Option D) Panchala - This option is incorrect. Panchala is the kingdom ruled by Drupada, and Drona left Panchala after being insulted by Drupada.
The correct answer is Option A) Hastinapura. Drona went to Hastinapura when he was insulted by Drupada.
