The entire Mahabharata — all 18 parvas, 1,170 daily episodes as a beautiful, serialized reading experience. No account, no ads. Your progress syncs via iCloud.
The Mahabharata is the longest epic ever composed and this app is built to help you actually finish it.
The complete, unabridged K.M. Ganguli translation (1883–1896) — every one of the 18 parvas, about 2.5 million words divided into 1,170 daily episodes, each sized for a single sitting. Read like a series: every episode opens with a recap of where the story stands and ends with a glimpse of what comes next.
