Synopsis:

This 15-hour digitally re-mastered, abridged version of Mahabharat, the epic Indian television series (which originally ran for over 60 hours), is available in a five-disc digi-pack that includes an eight-page booklet containing a glossary of the many characters and an overview of the series by Professor Fitzgerald of the University of Tennessee.

Described as "the greatest epic of all time", the Mahabharat television series is based upon the epic verse of the same name written by Rishi Ved Vynasa, an ancient Himalayan mystic, philosopher and thinker. It is a great historic story of sibling rivalry interwoven with Hinduism and the mythological history of India and the most cherished of all Indian classics. It contains complex sub-stories of philosophy, divinity, adventure, bravery and betrayal and is also one of the world's most significant treatises on karma, reincarnation and yoga.

The story is brought graphically, vividly and spectacularly to television by B.R. Chopra, one of India's most eminent film directors who produced and directed it with Ravi Chopra. For fans of the series, this new DVD release offers an unmissable opportunity to become re-acquainted with the various characters and main story lines. For those yet to experience Mahabharat, the series offers a most exciting, colourful and enlightening introduction to Indian culture, philosophy and mythology.
