Mahabharata is a great epic that revolves around the war between the two clans, Kaurava and Pandava, taking place at Kurukshetra. The story begins with the power struggle between the two families, featuring the five Pandava brothers โ Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva โ and the 100 Kaurava brothers, led by Duryodhana.
At the heart of the story is the complex relationship between the characters, particularly between Arjuna and Krishna, his companion and divine protector. When Arjuna faces fear and doubt before the battle, Krishna provides him with invaluable guidance, leading to the formation of the “Bhagavad Gita,” one of India’s greatest philosophical texts.
The war is not just about power; it is also about honor, loyalty, and justice. The decisions made by each character have profound consequences. Duryodhana, driven by greed and ruthlessness, leads to the deaths of many, while Yudhishthira, despite his mistakes, constantly seeks justice and truth.
