It focuses on the political tensions between the Pandavas and the Kauravas and culminates in the fratricidal battle of Kurukshetra. The book also includes narrations of other historical tales, and several philosophical discourses. The story particularly explores many of the intricacies of dharma, especially for the warrior and priestly classes.

The vibrant illustrations add magic to the narration of stories of love and hate, right and wrong and the ultimate lesson of life - goodness always prevails over evil.
