Learn the basic themes of Hindu culture and religion through this visually-compelling format of one of the two major epic tales from ancient India.
The core story is of a dynastic struggle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, two branches of the Kuru clan, for the throne of the kingdom of Hastinapura. Due to Kaurava plotting and a costly game of dice, the Pandavas are exiled for thirteen years. The struggle culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra, in which the Pandavas are ultimately victorious. The epic ends with the death of Krishna, which also marks the beginning of the Hindu age of Kali (Kali Yuga), in which great values and noble ideas have crumbled, and man is heading toward the complete dissolution of right action, morality and virtue.
