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...!

Mahabharata war - Day 15 Fall of Acharya Drona.

Episode#69 On the fifteenth day, the war did not cease even after the sunset but continued as mentioned before in Torchlight. The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time. Ghatotkacha and his troops of demons (who are stronger at night) found darkness an additional advantage and violently attacked Duryodhana army. Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!" Karna himself was angry and bewildered, having been wounded by one of the Asura arrows. He had with him the spear which Indra had bestowed to him, but as warned, it could be used only once, and...

Mahabharata war - Day 14 Fall of Jayadratha

Episode#68 News of Arjuna's oath reached the enemy. The spies informed Duryodhana that Arjuna, having learnt that Jayadratha was the cause of Abhimanyu death, had vowed to kill Jayadratha before sunset the next day. Vriddhakshatra, the illustrious King of Sindhi's was blessed with a son Jayadratha. During his breath, a voice was heard to say: "This prince will attain great glory in the happy regions above after being slain in the battle. One who, among the warriors of all ages, ranks among the most illustrious, will in the field of battle shall get his head severed from the body." All living beings must die but truth is always bitter! Vriddhakshatra was grieved to hear the voice declare his son's end. In his disturbed state of mind, he uttered a curse "He, who shall cause my son's head roll down on the ground, his head shall be burst at that very moment into fragments." When Jayadratha grew up to his manhood, Vriddhakshatra handed over the state ...
