Thousands of companies manufactured matches worldwide and used a variety of fancy labels to make their brand stand out. The match boxes had unusual topics but some were much prettier than others. This cover features Suyodhana. In the Hindu epic the Mah?bh?rata, Duryodhana (????????,?????????,????????? Duryodhana, 'difficult to fight with', his real name was Suyodhana) is the eldest son of the blind king Dhritarashtra by Queen Gandhari, the eldest of the one hundred Kaurava brothers. Emperor of the world (which then meant Emperor of India, or Bharatvarsha as it was then known), he was the cousin and the chief antagonist of the Pandavas.
