In the Mahabharata, Ekalavya was the son of Hiranyadhanus, who was the chief of the Bheel tribe, known to be forest-dwelling hunters. He served under King Jarasandha's army as General. Ekalavya was hurt when he was rejected by Dronacharya because of an old tradition where the brahmin guru was not allowed to teach Shudras or Adivasi. Ekalavya still didn't give up on his resolute will to master archery. He once stayed hidden in the forest while guru Drona was teaching the Kaurava and Pandava brothers, after they left for the ashram, Ekalavya collected the mud on which his Guru walked, as a symbolic gesture of want to follow his knowledge and footsteps, later he went into the forest and made a statue of Drona under a big old well-grown tree. He began a disciplined program of self-study over many years. He accepted the statue as his guru and practiced in front of it every single day.
