Shakuni (Sanskrit: शकुनि, IAST: Śakuni, lit. ' bird ' ) is one of the antagonists of the Hindu epic Mahabharata . He was the prince of the kingdom of Gandhara when introduced, later becoming its king after the death of his father, Subala .
Gandhara prince Shakuni was the root of all the conspiracies of Duryodhana against the Pandavas, which finally resulted in the Kurukshetra War.

Purochana called the palace Lakshagraha. It was made out of materials such as wax and twigs. After some time, Shakuni convinced the Pandavas and Kunti to visit Lakshagraha.
