Question

Who were upapandavas? Write about them in detail

Answer 1

In Mahabharata, the Upapandavas were the five sons of the Pandavas, from Draupadi (one son from each pandava). The Upapandavas were also known as Pandavaputras. Their names were, Shatikanta, (born from Nakula), Shrutasena (born from Sahadev), Shrutakarma (born from Arjuna), Sutasoma (born from Bhima) and Prativindhya ( born from Yudhistira). 

But, all of them were killed on the last night of the war, by Ashwathama, who in the dark of the night assumed them to be Pandavas, and realized his grave mistake when he went to the dying Duryadhana with their cut heads.
