The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic that holds immense significance in the literary and cultural heritage of India. Composed by the sage Vyasa, it is one of the longest epics in world literature. The narrative intricately weaves together the complexities of human nature, duty, and morality through the tale of the Kurukshetra War between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Rich with philosophical discourses, particularly the Bhagavad Gita, the Mahabharata provides profound insights into dharma (righteousness) and karma (action). Its timeless wisdom continues to influence and inspire countless generations, making it a cornerstone of Indian philosophy and ethics.
