See it in action
The story
Nineteen chapters, from Ved Vyasa to the final journey
The whole epic, in order, without the parts that frighten a child. Every chapter is a short read at bedtime β one sitting, one idea, one lesson to talk about afterwards.
The practice
A Quiz Time page after every single chapter
Reading it once is not the same as remembering it. Each chapter closes with written exercises that make a child go back and think β and an answer key at the back so parents never have to guess.
- Tick the correct answer, true or false, one-word answers
- Fill in the blanks and Match the Following
- "Who Am I?" β recall a character from their own words
- Draw & Label, for the children who are still learning to write
- Think & Write β three lines in their own words
The reason
Values that stay with them long after the story ends
The Mahabharata is not a book about a war. It is a book about choices, and what each choice costs. Written plainly, so a nine-year-old can see the pattern for themselves.
- Every action has a consequence β pride, anger and greed included
- Dharma: doing what is right even when it is not easy
- Courage without cruelty, and honesty when it is inconvenient
- Respect for elders, patience, and self-control
- That true strength comes from wisdom, not force
Every chapter has a video to go with it
Point a phone at the QR on any chapter page and the story plays β in Hindi or English. No app, no login, no account. Free for life with the books.

Questions parents ask
What age is this Mahabharata story book for?
Ages 4 to 12. Children of 4 to 7 enjoy it read aloud, with the illustrations and the QR videos carrying the story. Readers of 8 and above manage it on their own and can complete the Quiz Time pages without help.
Is the war described in a way that will frighten my child?
No. Kurukshetra is told through choices and their consequences, not through violence. Difficult episodes β Draupadi's humiliation, the fall of Karna β are handled with care and kept emotionally safe, while staying true to the original narrative.
Which language is the book in?
The book text is in simple English, written in short sentences for young readers. The QR code videos are available inboth Hindi and English, so a child can follow the story in whichever language is comfortable at home.
Do I need the QR videos to use the book?
Not at all. The book is complete on its own. The videos are a free companion β no app to install, no account to create. Any phone camera will open them.
What is inside β how many chapters and pages?
19 chapters across 100+ full-colour pages, covering the complete epic from the origin of the Mahabharata to the final journey of the Pandavas. Each chapter has its own QR video and Quiz Time page, with a full answer key at the back.
How fast is delivery, and can I pay on delivery?
Free shipping anywhere in India, dispatched the next working day. Cash on delivery is available at checkout. If something is wrong with your copy, exchange or return it within 7β15 days in unused condition.
Do you have the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita too?

For my 11-year-old, this was a bit too simple. But for my younger one in class 2, it's perfect. Good for the 5-9 age group as the book says.
Mera beta 6 saal ka hai aur use stories mein interest nahi tha. But this book has pictures and small chapters, so he stays engaged. We read one chapter every night.
For a paperback, the binding is quite strong. My child is not very gentle with books, but this one has held up well after a month of use.
Bahut acchi book hai. Bacche easily samajh sakte hain. Mera beta 8 saal ka hai aur use har chapter ke baad questions poochhne me maza aata hai.
That's the best way to describe this book. No unnecessary drama, just the core story with clear lessons. Perfect for young minds.
The book length is just right. It covers the whole story without being a doorstopper. My child didn't lose interest and felt a sense of accomplishment finishing it.
He is 6 and this is his first time with this story. He can now name all five Pandavas correctly. The matching exercises in the book helped with that.
This is the first book my son has voluntarily picked up to read. The stories have really captured his imagination. Thank you!
I wanted my son to know our culture and stories. This is a wonderful first introduction to a major epic without being overwhelming. He now knows who all the main characters are.
The English used is simple but not childish. It respects the intelligence of the child reader. Good vocabulary builder as well.
My child loves the quiz parts. We now have small competitions on who can answer the questions from the chapter we just read. Great for revision.
I was always scared to introduce this epic because of the violence. This version is truly gentle. The focus is on the feelings and the lessons. Highly recommend for sensitive kids.
I bought this for my daughter who is in class 3. She could read it on her own without much help. She especially liked the story of Karna and kept asking why he was so sad. Good emotional connect.
My daughter had to do a project on the Mahabharata for school. This book was her primary source. The simple language made it easy for her to write in her own words.
The "Think & Write" sections often lead to deep conversations with my child about fairness, honesty, and courage. It's more than just a storybook.
I was surprised how my child, who is usually restless, sat through the whole chapter on the Kurukshetra war. The simple explanations kept him interested.
We have many storybooks, but this one will stay. It's not just for one reading; it's a reference for values as my child grows.
Other versions I've seen are either too complicated or skip too much. This one strikes a good balance. The flow from the Kuru dynasty to the Pandavas and Kauravas is clear.
I wanted a book that tells the Mahabharata story positively, focusing on dharma. This book does exactly that. Very satisfied.
The answer key for all the quizzes is there, which helps me when my child attempts them and I'm not 100% sure of the answer myself. Good thinking by the publisher.
I'm reading it to my son and I'm learning things I never knew or had forgotten. It's a nice bonding experience and a good refresher on the Mahabharata.
He doesn't understand all the words yet, but he loves pointing at the pictures of Bhima, Arjuna, and the elephants on the battlefield. It keeps him engaged while I read to his older sister.
I was happy to see a dedicated chapter on the Bhagavad Gita. The teachings are distilled into very simple points like "do your duty" and "the soul is eternal," which are perfect for children.
It's not just a story book; the questions and "Think & Write" sections are great for starting conversations with my child about values. We use it as a weekend activity.
The "Match the Following" and "Who Am I?" sections are a fun way to test what my child has remembered. It feels more like a game than a test.
I don't always remember every detail, so the answer key at the back helps me when my kids ask me to check their quiz answers. Very thoughtful.
The lessons at the end of each chapter are practical. We often use them as points for our family discussions on what is right and wrong.
We have started a routine of reading one chapter every Sunday evening as a family. It's become a special time for us, and the book's gentle tone makes it perfect for this.
The pages are smooth and have a nice finish. It feels like a high-quality book. The paperback cover also has a good, durable feel to it.
The font size is comfortable for young readers. The paper isn't too thin, so the text from the other side doesn't show through. Good production quality.
The font is a good size and style, which makes it easy for my daughter to read without straining her eyes. She can read for longer periods.
