The Kurus were a venerated race that dominated nearly the entire landscape of Bharatvarsha, spanning over generations to the time the young blind prince Dhritarastra was denied his throne based on his blindness, spurning in his heart a fire of jealousy and ambition which raged down to his sons.
Duryodhana, the eldest of Kaurava, grew up in luxury, only to be aghast with the incoming of his five cousins, who soon turned into contenders, firstly for his elders' love, and later the throne of Hastinapur. The dark walls of Hastinapur were replete with dark, murky tales of how power overplayed politics, and the extent Kurus went to get what they sought. From ravaging the kingdom of Gandhara, every person became a pawn of the other.
In between all these, the young princess of Kalinga, Bhanumati, was lost in her own dreamy world. Known for her ethereal beauty resembling the brilliance of the sun, she had high hopes with her father organizing the grandest Swayamvara. Little did she know that her hopes will be dashed in a fraction of a second. Rising from grief and pain to finding true love, she came across a powerful revelation toward the end.
