In the shadows of the great hills of Dhumketu which marked the boundary of Vidharbha samrajya, lay the mesmerizing kingdom of Kripalakshaya starting its reign from the foothills of Dhumketu to the southern ending tip of Aryavart.

This humongous mahasamrajya was protected from its sides by the Eastern and Western Ghats and from the southern end was the never-ending ocean of Hindmahasagar. It was the biggest kingdom of Aryavart.

The reason why no King had been able to win against this kingdom was its unique geographical position. Not only was it protected was all sides by rocky, dangerous hills but also the northern hills of Dhumketu harboured the most wildest and fierce jungles of Kirmada.

No one in their right mind would try to illegally entire the kingdom. Other rival kingdoms such as Hastinapur had tried to send spies but only one had been able to sustain through the Kirmada jungles and was eventually killed when he was caught entering the city.

Following this incident, Kripalakshaya threatened to cut all trade-related ties with Hastinapur which resulted in Hastinapur's retreat and issue of an apology letter. If the most widely acclaimed kingdom to Hastinapur could not breach such an immense empire, then what chance did the rest of the Aryavarta kingdoms stand? And to this day the Dharmrajya Mahasamrajya of Kripalakshaya remains mysterious.

The empire itself was of breathtaking beauty, cradled by majestic hills and adorned with cascading waterfalls. It had a serene and verdant landscape, the fusion of nature's splendor and human artistry.
