1. MAHABHARATA

2. One of the world’s oldest epics
Certainly, the longest epic ever
Known and loved by all Indians
Composed and retold by the Sage Vyasa, who is also a main character
Written down by Ganesha in one stretch without a break
Supposedly, if you read the whole thing, you will ascend to the world of Brahma and be equal to the gods

3. Story of a great war between two related families: the Pandavas and the Kurus;
Includes a long “sermon” by Krishna (avatar of Vishnu), which is considered one of the holy books of Hinduism;
Many moral lessons about doing your duty to caste and society (dharma) and what happens when they conflict.
Plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub plots...like Gilgamesh, the Bible and Star Wars wrapped in one

4. RAMAYANA
