Kritavarma
Kritavarma was a partial incarnation of the Maruts, who were the storm gods of the Hindu pantheon. He was a powerful Yadava warrior and a contemporary of Lord Krishna, who famously fought on the side of the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war.
- Kritavarma was the commander of the Narayani Sena, Krishna's army, which Krishna gave to Duryodhana. This is why he fought against the Pandavas.
- His decision to fight with the Kauravas led to a rivalry with Satyaki, another Yadava warrior who fought for the Pandavas.
- Kritavarma was one of the three survivors from the Kaurava side at the end of the war.

Chhath
In the Mahabharata, Chhath Puja was performed by Kunti after she (and the Pandavas) escaped from Lakshagriha. It is also believed that Karna, the son of Surya and Kunti, was conceived after Kunti performed Chhath Puja. Draupadi is also said to have performed the Puja for the Pandavas to win the Kurukshetra War. It is believed that Draupadi performed Chhath Puja near a spring in Nagdi village of Ranchi. In this village today, the festival is performed near this spring, not the river or pond.
