This is the story of wailing widows, screaming children and mothers!

What happened to Gandhari, who lost her 100 sons in the epic battle leaving behind their widowed daughter-in-laws, what happened to Draupadi who lost her 5 young sons and Subhadra’s only son Abhimanyu, Kunti’s fate on losing her eldest son Karna and Vrushali who lost her husband? Bhanumati, who lost her son Laxamana Kumar, her brave husband Duryodhana? And young Laxamani lost her beloved!

In this historical war of the Mahabharata more than 40 million soldiers were killed, but the aftermath left behind a trail of bereaving women, children and spouses whose dreams were shattered by the loss of their kith and kin.

In 5000 years, we have not fought a single major war in comparison to this Grande war of Mahabharata. In war when armies get massacred, the sufferers are families, leaving behind wailing mother and a bleeding motherland...!

This is the story of an emotional matrix sizzling with hatred and jealousy; in the same breath, it also dares to reveal the love stories and sacrifices accomplished by the valiant heroes of Mahabharata! It is a melodrama of silent emotional traumas which are more turbulent than the concealed whirl-pools. In war when men get killed, the women and children got devastated – there was but one woman who rose far above the legends of Mahabharata; she was later known as Janani Janmabhoomi...!

Let facts turn to fiction – let history becomes mythology – let men become legends – it is only when women become widows...Alas! Women remained the silent sufferers; unsung, unremembered and lost in oblivion...!

Episode#36 Duryodhana was extremely delighted that he would banish the Pandavas into exile for another thirteen years and forfeit their rights to the throne. In order to catch Pandavas red-handed, Duryodhana attacked Maytsa Kingdom. Arjuna posed as the charioteer of Prince Uttara (son of king Virata) and defended the Prince single handedly from the powerful Karna, Bhisma, Drona and Duryodhana.

I know that Dusshasana and Sakuni brought about this destruction and that Arjuna and Bhima are not to be blamed! My sons deserve the fate they have met - only because of their flase pride and vanity I do not complain about it. But in Vasudev Krishna presence,  Bhima challenge Duryodhana to battle and knowing that Duryodhana was stronger and could not br defeat in a single combat, Bhima struck him below the naval and killed him!

Bhima, who heard this, came near and said "Mother, I did this in self-defence, whether is was right or wrong, you should bear with me. Your son was invincible in combat a d I had to resort to self-defence what was undoubtedly wrong,  but then ...
