According to the legend, Aravan agrees to be sacrificed to Goddess Kali, in order to win the war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas under the condition that he be married before his death. As nobody was willing to marry a man who was about to be killed, Lord Krishna takes the form of a woman, Mohini, and marries Aravan. The next day, Aravan is offered in sacrifice to Goddess Kali who then devours him. (Express Photo | G Pattabiraman)
