r/TheMahabharata

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being The Ramayana (see r/TheRamayana). It narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pāṇḍava princes and their succession. Along with the Rāmāyaṇa, it forms the Hindu Itihasa. Encompassed within the Mahabharata is the much revered Bhagavad Gita (see r/TheGita). The Mahabharata has been called 'the original GOT' (see r/Mahabharata_og_ASOIAF)
