Gain insight into Lord Krishna's pivotal role as a mentor and guide to the Pandavas. Appreciate how he steers Arjuna and his brothers through ethical dilemmas and tough moral choices with the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.
Delve into the Mahabharata's sweeping epic storyline - from the Pandavas' dramatic escape attempt and exile during childhood to the destructive dice game that robbed them of their kingdom and led to an apocalyptic war.
Witness the final climactic battle, where Krishna masterfully guides the Pandavas to victory, ultimately restoring dharma.
