The first part of the Mahabharata, the ancient Indian epic originally composed in Sanskrit by Veda Vyasa, can be explored in Malayalam through the timeless Amar Chitra Katha series.
The first part of the Mahabharata recounts the history of the Kuru dynasty, Bhishma’s great vow, and the birth of the Kauravas and the Pandavas, along with the story of Dronacharya. It also portrays the debut contest between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Karna’s coronation as the king of Anga, and the episode in which Dronacharya receives his gurudakshina by defeating King Drupada.
