'They claim to know her because she is unknowable. They see her form because she is formless. They speak on her behalf because she never utters a word.'
This is the story of Ganga, Madri, Pritha and Gandhari: women of the Mahabharata who, driven by their fears and ambitions, trigger events that lead to an epic war, propelling kings, princes and warriors towards glory and bloodshed, sin and redemption.
What came to an end in Kurukshetra took root in throne rooms and bedchambers, hermitages and sacred lakes, prisons and shrines, on horseback and under the stars.
This immersive, gripping retelling of the Mahabharata through the eyes of its female characters reveals how fates are sealed and destinies altered when women begin pulling the strings.
