Mahabharata

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, telling the story of the great Kurukshetra War between the Pandavas and Kauravas. With over 200,000 verses, it is the longest epic poem ever written and contains the sacred Bhagavad Gita — Lord Krishna's discourse to Arjuna on the battlefield. The epic explores dharma (righteousness), karma, duty, and the eternal struggle between good and evil through unforgettable characters like Bhishma, Draupadi, Karna, and Arjuna.
