Not the Mahabharata You Think You Know By Samar (English)

Mahabharata has been a part of our lives through kirtans, kathas, and various retellings. Yet, within this epic of one hundred thousand verses lies a treasury of mysteries that remain elusive and unfamiliar to most readers. The chariots, arrows, and weapons often depicted by painters and television directors differ vastly from the original descriptions in the text. This book brings authentic portrayals of ancient weaponry to life, supported by direct references to the verses. Alongside them, the lesser-known episodes, such as the astonishing and rarely told account of the Kauravas’ birth, a unique cosmological theory of creation, and the thrilling tale of the war between the Gandharvas and the Kauravas are also unraveled. Through these lesser-known truths, the book not only reveals hidden dimensions of the epic verity but also presents the Mahabharata itself in a concise, accessible form for modern readers.
