The Mahabharata is an epic story of the great people of a great country called Bharat, the Indian sub-continent. This book retells the epic in an easy-to-read, lively style, complimented by evocative illustrations reminiscent of old times. It is a first-of-its-kind book, where the author highlights and weaves the otherwise hidden stories into the main narrative without disturbing its flow. The result is an engrossing journey for readers of all ages.

Did you know that Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata, is also one of the important characters of the story? Or that Hanuman, of Ramayana fame, and Bhima are brothers? Or that Bhima fought with Ravana's brother Kubera? This book unveils many such interesting facts. In the end, the author also explains the symbolism of the Mahabharata in our daily lives.

Whenever Mahabharata is studied, this invocation of divine grace is traditionally recited. As the prayer reveals, this great scripture written by Sage Vyasa is also referred to as Jaya or victory.
