Mahabharata (Amar Chitra Katha) Vol. 582

It all began with petty family jealousy. The Kaurava brothers tricked their Pandava cousins out of a kingdom and even Lord Krishna could not stop the horror and bloodshed that followed. Veda Vyasa composed an epic poem, the longest in the world, to describe the events that unfolded. The main story is about a kingdom called Bharata, which is ruled by the Kuru dynasty. Hastinapura is the capital of the kingdom and a major part of the story unfolds there. The story depicts the struggle for power between the two main family branches of the Kuru clan, the Kauravas and the Pandavas. The five Pandava princes and hundred Kaurava princes meet at Kurukshetra for a decisive battle to win the throne of Hastinapura, after the efforts to bring the two families together fail.
