'''[[Mahabharata]]''' is one of the two major ancient [[Sanskrit]] [[epic poetry|epics]] of [[India]], the other being the ''[[Ramayana]]''. Traditionally ascribed to [[Vyasa]], it is the longest literary [[epic poetry|epic poem]] in the world. The title may be translated as "History of the Great India" or, more accurately, "the Great Bharata Dynasty" . The work is part of the Hindu ''[[itihaasas]]'', literally "that which happened", along with the ''[[Puranas]]''. The core story of the work is that of a dynastic struggle for the throne of [[Hastinapura]], the kingdom ruled by the [[Kuru (India)|Kuru]] clan. The two collateral branches of the family that participate in the struggle are the [[Kaurava]]s and the [[Pandava]]s. The struggle culminates leading to the [[Kurukshetra war|Great battle of Kurukshetra]], and the [[Pandavas]] are ultimately victorious. It also marks the beginning of the Hindu age of [[Kali]] ([[Kali Yuga]]), where the great values and noble ideas have crumbled, and man is speedily heading toward the complete dissolution of right action, morality and virtue. Some of the most noble and revered figures in the Mahabharat end up fighting on the side of the Kauravas, due to allegiances formed prior to the conflict.
