Mahabharata 3 Vol set is a comprehensive retelling of the greatest epic ever.

Volume 1: The Kuru Princes

The Mahabharata first volume describes the lineage of the Kuru princes. When Pandu, the father of Pandavas, dies in the forest, his wife Kunti returns to Hastinapura with her five sons. The great Dronacharya trains the Kuru princes in the art of war. The extraordinary skills of Pandavas invoke jealousy and hate in Duryodhana and the other Kaurava princes towards their cousins.

From the Pandavas’ miraculous escape from Duryodhana’s evil schemes to their eventual marriage to the beautiful Draupadi, this tale will keep you engaged throughout!

Volume 2: The Pandavas in Exile

The Mahabharata second volume describes the crucial event that triggered the Pandavas’ exile. A fateful game of dice that the wily Shakunni rigs in the favour of the Kauravas leads to the Pandavas losing their entire kingdom and their wife, Draupadi, to their cousin clan, the Kauravas.  On that very day, Draupadi takes a vindictive oath of not braiding her hair until it is washed with the blood of Dushasana, Duryodhana’s brother who tried to disrobe her in public. As a punishment for their loss, they are sent into exile for 13 years. However, at the end of the period of exile, when the Pandavas come back to claim their kingdom, Duryodhana refuses to let go of his ill-gotten gains, further fueling Draupadi’s desire of vengeance.

Volume 3: On the Battlefield of Kurukshetra

This volume narrates every detail of the actual Mahabharata war, from how Krishna tried to unsuccessfully resolve the conflict between the cousin clans peacefully to the events on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, fought over 18 days.
