The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic where the main story revolves around two branches of a family – the Pandavas and Kauravas – who, in the Kurukshetra War, battle for the throne of Hastinapura. Interwoven into this narrative are several smaller stories about people dead or living, and philosophical discourses. Krishna-Dwaipayan Vyasa, himself a character in the epic, composed it; as, according to tradition, he dictated the verses and Ganesha wrote them down. At 100,000 verses, it is the longest epic poem ever written, generally thought to have been composed in the 4th century BCE or earlier. The events in the epic play out in the Indian subcontinent and surrounding areas. Including within it the Bhagavad Gita, the Mahabharata is one of the most important texts of ancient Indian, indeed world, literature.
Here being an artist I have attempted to discrib this ancient Indian epic with help of India stamps , abstract art and symbolic art fusion . There are 18 stamps in total from which 4 stamps are stone sculpture, 7 miniature painting , 7 Madhubani Art. In Stamps we can see different important events of Mahabharata like Gita updesh, Panchali, Draupadi with Pandavas, Birth of Karna, Dhritrashtra and Gandhari vivah,
Megha Raj, Hastinapur and The Dice game, kurukshetra war( the great Indian war Maha- Bharata) , Bhishma lay dying, Chakravyuh, fight between Arjuna and Karna etc.
