The Indian Mahabharata is one of the longest epic poems in the world, composed in ancient Sanskrit. It narrates the story of the Kurukshetra War between two groups of cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, exploring themes of duty, righteousness, and morality. The epic also includes the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred text that presents a conversation between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The Mahabharata is not only a tale of conflict but also a rich source of philosophy, mythology, and cultural values in Indian tradition.
