Epics Mahabharat - Stories online

Mahabharat is the longest poetry/story in the world.

Here, I have collected a variety of sources who have done a great job to present it for different audience.

My Culture II students need to focus on story of Karna and Bhisma only.

Parents: Please use the cheatsheet by Liz or Bhisma and Karna story chapters from Indolink to brush up your memory of Mahabharat and talk to the kids.

Thats what I did in class, otherwise Mahabharat is very complex and has some material which can raise questions we do not want to get into in II grade. Thanks to Sheela for pointing this out.

Here is a cheatsheet by Liz on the whole Mahabharat.


Rest of these links are great but not for very young kids.

Thanks to Indolink for their detailed version of Mahabharat abridged for kids.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6
Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12


Thanks India Nest and Dr. CS Shah (his copyrights too) for the Mahabharat listed as several stories, easy to follow. (This is well written but not recommended for young kids)

Note: I have removed the links to India Vilas Mahabharat links as the language is not appropriate for young kids and has some typos.
