Ashwatthama was cursed

The context of Ashwatthama in Mahabharata is very interesting. Ashwatthama was the son of Guru Dronacharya. When Dronacharya was continuously destroying the Pandava army and it looked impossible to stop him, the Pandavas killed Dronacharya by spreading false news of Ashwatthama’s death.

When Ashwatthama came to know about this, he decided to take revenge from the Pandavas at that very moment. After that Ashwatthama killed five sons of Pandavas.

Enraged by this, Lord Shri Krishna gave him a wound on his forehead and cursed him that he would keep wandering from door to door until his wound was healed. But along with the curse, he also said that no doctor in the whole world would be able to cure it.
