The war has come to its final moment. With his army wiped out and his greatest warriors slain, Duryodhana stands alone—the last Kaurava left. As he goes in a lake, Yudhishthira challenges him to a final duel. Bhima and Duryodhana face off in an earth-shaking mace battle—the greatest showdown of the war. The oath of vengeance is fulfilled, and Duryodhana falls. But even in death, he refuses to surrender.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. Vyasa, Krishna Dwaipayana.

Narrated by Kumar Varun.

On the fourteenth night, Ghatotkacha wreaked havoc, forcing Karna to use his divine weapon, saving Arjuna but costing the Pandavas dearly. Drona killed Virata and Drupada before Bhima’s trick—killing an elephant named Ashwatthama—broke his spirit. Believing his son was dead, Drona surrendered to fate, and Dhrishtadyumna beheaded him. Yudhishthira’s first lie cost him his divine purity—his chariot, once floating, finally touched the earth.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. K.M. Ganguli (Trans.)
