Strategic Formations: The Vyuha:-
Padma Vyuha or the Chakravyuha:
A winding, ever-rotating circular formation; considered impenetrable during
the Mahabharata age by all warriors except for the Krishna, Arjuna, Drona, Pradymna and Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu had
learnt how to break into the formation (in the womb of Subhadra) but not
how to break out of it and is trapped inside during the Mahabharata war.
