Kaurava Stories

Most of the things we know about the personal lives of the characters of Mahabharat is about the Pandavas. One can't help but wonder at what might have been going on at the other side. Glimpses of life on the Kaurava side of from Bhanumati's POV. Updates may be sporadic.

Pandavas and Kauravas, scions of princes of the Kuru Kingdom fight for what they think their birthright is and how that should be implemented while thin, oily and deep webs of ancestry and morality and plotting and righteousness weave around Aryavarta. At the heart of Aryavarta, a revolution is brewing. On the Throne, Dhritarashtara, the blind king and his foreign born queen, Gandhari struggle to maintain the peace of their kingdom, once heart of the Arya Empire. In the shadows, Kunti, the dowager-queen burns with ambition to see her firstborn on the throne. In the hallways and the empty rooms of the palace, the Pandavas and the Kauravas are determined to claim their birthright and rule and act according to their learnings. They are the maker of their destiny, or so they believe. In the corridors of the Palace, a foreign prince plots to destroy Bharatvarsh. His aim might just be what the land deserves. And in the middle, of it all, the purveyor of destiny, Govinda, a cowherd turn prince with a knack for king making. Darkness is descending but the question is are they prepared? Do they even know that the embers are practically burned out, in their last cinders, puffing out smokes, the dying breaths of the once great bastion of civilization. It's just a retelling of the great epic, Mahabharata. |Updates every third day after the previous post.|

But what sets him apart - just like Kumbhakarna he tells his brother that he is doing adharma, injustice, immoral and wrong. But still dies for his brother. A short story of Vikarna the warrior and just human the Kaurava who made Bhima's heart melt...

Maithili Vishwaseni is the princess of Vaideha. The first girl born after Ramayana's Urmila Seeradhwaji, her birth is celebrated all over the kingdom.

With her soothing touch grew the trees, bringing every type of colours into the universe which was once colourless.
