In the Mahabharata, Gandhari's curse is said to have contributed to the destruction of the Yadava clan. After the Kurukshetra war, she cursed Krishna that his Yadava clan would perish, which eventually occurred 36 years later during the Yadava civil war at Prabhasa. Dhritarashtra, Shakuni, and Duryodhana were key figures but Gandhari's curse is specifically linked to the Yadav clan's end.
