Despite the blindness of Dhritarashtra, Gandhari still loved him and voluntarily went blindfolded through her married life, deciding to share her husband's pain. She was the mother of the 100 Kauravas, amongst them, her eldest; Duryodhana. Gandhari made only two exceptions to her blindfolded state; when she removed her blindfold to see Duryodhana. She poured all her power into that one glance, rendering Duryodhana's entire body as strong as iron. Krishna knew this and foiled this by meeting Duryodhana and asking him to cover up before meeting his mother.
