In the epic Mahabharata, Drona (Sanskrit: द्रोण, Drona) or Dronacharya (Sanskrit: द्रोणाचार्य, Dronacharya) or Gurudrona (Sanskrit-गुरुद्रोण) was the royal preceptor to Kauravas and Pandavas. He was a descendant of the sage, Angirasa. He was a master of advanced military arts, including the divine weapons or Divya Astras. Arjuna was his favorite student. Ashwatthama, another major combatant in the Kurukshetra war, is the son of Drona. Drona is the avatar of Brihaspati.
