Subhadra (Sanskrit: सुभद्रा, IAST: Subhadrā) is a princess of Dvārakā mentioned in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. She is the sister of deities Krishna and Balarama in Hindu scriptures. Subhadra married Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers and had a son named Abhimanyu.
Subhadra is part of the triad of deities worshipped at the Jagannath Temple at Puri, along with Krishna (as Jagannatha) and Balarama (or Balabhadra). One of the chariots in the annual Ratha Yatra is dedicated to her.
