Parents: Pradyumna and Rukmavati

Aniruddha, the unconquerable, was the son of Pradyumna and Rukmavati, and the grandson of Krishna and Rukmini. He was said to have been very much like his grandfather, to the extent that he is considered by some to be a Jana avatar, an avatar of Vishnu. He was a member of the chatur-vyuha, the four Vrishni heroes. One day, Aniruddha was playing in the forest when he saw a beautiful princess named Usha. He immediately fell in love with her, but Usha was already betrothed to another man. Aniruddha was determined to have Usha, so he kidnapped her and took her away to his kingdom. Usha's father, King Banasura, was furious when he found out that his daughter had been kidnapped. He gathered his army and marched on Aniruddha's kingdom. A great battle ensued, but Aniruddha and his men were victorious. King Banasura was defeated and Usha was returned to her father. Aniruddha and Usha were married and they lived happily ever after.
