explain mahabharat

Mahabharat is an ancient Indian epic poem that tells the story of a long and complex war between two branches of a royal family. The war is caused by a dispute over which branch of the family should rule the territory of Hastinapur. The two sides are the Pandavas and the Kauravas and they represent two different sides of the same family. The Pandavas are five brothers and their mother, Kunti, who have been exiled by the Kauravas. The Pandavas are led by the eldest brother, Yudhishthira. The Kauravas are the hundred sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari. The Kauravas are led by the eldest brother, Duryodhana. The war between the Pandavas and Kauravas is fought over eighteen days and includes many famous warriors, such as Arjuna, Bhishma, Drona, and Karna. In the end, the Pandavas win the war and Yudhishthira becomes the king of Hastinapur. An analogy to help you understand Mahabharata would be a modern-day battle between two different sides of the same family. For example, if two branches of a family were fighting for control of a company, it would be similar to the Pandavas and Kauravas fighting for control of Hastinapur. Fun Fact: The Mahabharata is the longest poem ever written, with over 1.8 million words!
