Major character prompt for Havan २०२२ Mahabharat event by @chaanv

Decided to draw him with a beard just for fun only to realise how hard beards are to draw.

I tried my best with the armour ;-;

।।Arjun of the Pandavas।।

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown."

You, reader, might argue that this quote is more applicable to Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava. But in my opinion, even though Yudhishthira was the one who wore the crown, Arjuna was the one who beared it's weight. Arjun, who saved his family time and time again. Arjun, who always put others before him. Arjun, who was selfless to the very end. Arjun, who was fiercely loyal, even to people who perhaps did not deserve it. A character whose fate is tragic in its own right. There is much debate about whether he is the superior Archer, and perhaps he is not. But Arjun is superior not because of skill, but because of his devotion. His devotion to his craft, to the pursuit of knowledge, to learning. Arjun stands out because of his curiosity, his selflessness and for staying true until the very end. Arjun was Dronacharya's favourite because he was an amazing student, and Reader, an amazing student is not inherently the one who is the most skilled, but the person who has a genuine thirst for knowledge. Arjun had that, which is why he was loved by many, and still is now. And I don't know about you, but to me, that's what makes him, the hero.

The face that launched a thousand ships,

A beauty so divine it drove the gods to madness

His eyes resemble daffodils, bright and alluring

Lips like the diagonal of a rose

But what is that I see?

Why has dew set upon the petals, o fairest of all?

Why, you ask? Why, I shall tell

Of what avail are these velvety palms, if they are to launch harm towards my brethren

Of what avail are these twinkling eyes, if they are to witness the spilling of the domestic red

Of what avail is this luscious mane, if they are to be matted under the metallic armour

Of what avail are these bee-stung lips, if they are to make utterances of mortal termination

Of what avail are these rugged arms, if they are to carry lifeless shells to their ultimate haven

Of what avail are these stallion legs, if they are to be sat idly atop a spent equestrian accessory

Of what avail, o Dear One, is this celestial form, if it is fated to be responsible for the disfigured in this realm

The interdiction was determined after an archaeological piece was found in the site in 2019. Hang, via Twitter, explained that the construction of a store belonging to the Havan chain, which he owns, in the city of Rio Grande (Rio Grande do Sul state) was suspended for more than 40 days due to the presence, according to him, of “a piece of common pottery, with no historical value” on the ground. The case was mentioned for the first time at the ministerial meeting on April 22, 2020. On that occasion, Bolsonaro criticized a supposedly excessive bureaucracy and defended Hang: “Iphan halts any work in Brazil, such as Luciano Hang's. Whenever there's a petrified Indian poop there, they halt the work, man!” Twenty one days after the meeting, the government appointed former Tourism Minister worker Larissa Peixoto as president of the institute.

In light of Bolsonaro’s declarations, a judge, by request of the Federal Public Minnistry (MPF), declared temporary removal of Peixoto from her duties. Bolsonaro, however, ruled out the possibility of interference in Justice in IPHAN: “I don't think this story of taking out who I put on Iphan will come to an end.”, he declared in a live broadcast on social networks. 

Iphan, in August 2019, issued a note stating that it did not stop the work at Havan, contrary to what Hang claims. According to the agency, the request came from the archaeologist hired by the company to supervise the work at the construction site. The presence of this professional, according to the institute, is foreseen in a term signed by the Hang network to obtain self-licence from the municipality.
