The Mahabharata is not merely a story—it is a cosmos of human experience, filled with nuanced reflections on Dharma, destiny, and the dualities of life. While heroes like Krishna, Arjuna, and Draupadi are etched into our cultural memory, many other profound characters remain obscured in the shadows of the epic. Adrsya: Hidden Marvels of the Mahabharatainvites you to step into their world.

Curated and edited by Aditi Banerjee, Adrsya brings together a diverse collective of voices who breathe life into characters often overlooked—Ambalika, Barbareek, Bhanumati, Duhshala, Janaka, Sulabha, Madri, Malayadwaja, Pandu, Saraswati Nadi, Shakuni, Shalya, Subhadra, Vikarna, and more. Each narrative reawakens ancient stories with fresh perspectives, drawing from the rich traditions of the Itihasas and Puranas while engaging the modern reader with timeless insights.

Aditi Banerjee, known for her acclaimed works such as The Curse of Gandhari and The Vow of Parvati, brings her deep knowledge of Hindu thought and literature to this volume as its guiding hand. Her editorial vision ensures a cohesive, dharmic lens throughout, while allowing each contributing author’s unique voice to shine.

Whether you're a lifelong student of the epic or newly curious, Adrsya offers a rare opportunity to explore the emotional and philosophical depths of characters who have waited too long in silence.
