Dipati Karna VS Gatot Kaca


The duel in the ‘GOLEK GELUT’ game between Dipati Karna and
Gatot Kaca is depicted from the epic war of ‘BARATAYUDA’, where the two of them meet in a fierceful battle to the end.

It was said that Dipati Karna posseses ‘KONTA’ which was given to him
By Batara Indra, a powerful Weapon which can pierce through anything,
feared by all, even by the mighty Pandawa Lima.
With ‘KONTA’ in Dipati Karna’s possesion, no one would stand a chance against Dipati Karna who fought for Kurawa.

Sri Kreshna however came up with a plan for Pandawa.
The plan was to send Gatotkaca out and challenged Dipati Karna on a deadly duel. The mission was actually suicidal, because Sri Kreshna’s plan was to sacrifice Gatotkaca in order to lure Dipati Karna to use ‘KONTA’ on Gatotkaca, but Gatotkaca, knowing the risk boldly accepted the mission.

On that fateful day, Gatotkaca challenged Dipati Karna, and after a long and fierceful battle, Gatotkaca succeeded in provoking Dipati Karna into using all of his weapons on Gatotkaca, finally Dipati Karna released ‘KONTA’ which was intentionally planned to be used on Arjuna and strike Gatotkaca to his demise.

It was also said that the powerful ‘KONTA’ was destined to pierce through Gatotkaca, because embodied inside Gatotkaca lies the sheath of the mighty ‘KONTA’, so when the weapon strike through Gatotkaca it was reunited with it’s sheath.

With ‘KONTA’ out of the way, Pandawa moved in to strike on Kurawa, and nothing was in the way of Pandawa’s victory.
