This is a Mahabharata Fanfiction mostly based on facts we see in Star Mahabharat. Mahabharat holds a lot of facts and is a complicated and marvelous creation, But this is just a fanfiction. This story is just meant as an entertainment and there is no intention to hurt anyone's feelings, religious or otherwise. I have just borrowing the characters to weave a storyline.

How will Arjun recover.. why does Yudhisthira feel kinship with Karan... How will the future unfold.

The great Mahabharata battle took away the lives of many and left many families incomplete. What would it be like if Anga Raj Karna had a daughter? What would the emotional turmoil of a young girl who lost all she called family in the battle be like? The diversity of the characters, and what may have been their perspectives, is one of the major factors that continues to kindle the flame that has made 'The Mahabharata' an evergreen epic. Yet, the details exploring the lives of the remaining members of the Kuru Dynasty, post the catastrophic battle of Kurukshetra, is left to the imagination. Through exploring what could possibly have taken place post the battle of Kurukshetra, the main focus of this story lies in traversing through the emotions of the various characters - including their unique and heart-warming bonds with the main protagonist of the story. *This is a purely fictional story. Karna's daughter is a character that I have made up for the purpose of this story.

❛ . . . and she wonders if it's serenity that she demands, or savagery ? ❜ As the Kurus lament and the world cries out in pain cursing the destiny, the charming trickster with a flute knows that for him, the silver-tongued Dvaraka prince, love and war are to go hand in hand. Once named Padmajaa-- a name that bestows her with her non-pareil determination and stubbornness like a lotus bloom in a sludge, she is the root of the sapling of righteousness that the almighty wishes to plant in the pious Aryavarta plagued with the horrors of nefariousness. The woman who rose from the flames along with the famed twins, has creation and cataclysm at her willowy fingertips and charms in her honey eyes as she enchants the hero of the era, Krishna Vaasudeva. With a voyage fraught with catastrophes and her soul stuck between the realms of humanism and divinity, she walks with her head high for she knows she is the chaos. As fate itself comes into the form of a woman who they call a beguiling one, will the world ever see the dawn of rectitude in the dusk of Dvapara?
