[RETELLING THE EPIC TAKE OF MAHABHARAT]

#2nd position in magical awards in spiritual category by @Magical_Community

Originally The Mahabharata is believed to be an ancient Indian epic; Krishna -Dwaipayan Vyasa, himself a character in the epic, composed it; as, according to tradition, he dictated the verses and Ganesha wrote them down. Set at the end of what the Hindu
scriptures term Dvapar Yug or the Third Age of Man (which many
scholars date between 6000 BCE and 5000 BCE), a time when the
lives of men and gods still intersected, the epic weaves myth, hissory, religion, science, philosophy, superstition, and statecraft into
its innumerable stories-within-stories to create a rich and teeming
world filled with psychological complexity.

The story moves with graceful
felicity between the very recognizable human world and magical
realms where yakshas and apsaras roam. Everything in the take ia either dependent on curses or vows (as I feel)

At the core of the epic lies the fierce rivalry between two
branches of the Kuru dynasty, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The
lifelong struggle between the cousins for the throne of Hastinapur
culminates in the bloody battle oof Kurukshetra, in which most kings
of that period participated.

This is the my version of the story, I have never actually read mahabharat so events might differ. On the whole it is a fictional story.
