The Mahabharata is considered both a historical text and a moral/philosophical guide. While historians debate the exact historical events it describes, it provides valuable insights into ancient Indian society, culture, politics, and belief systems.
Scholars believe the events of the Mahabharata may have occurred around 1000 BCE, while the text was composed between 400 BCE and 400 CE, with additions continuing for centuries afterward.
Complete translations are available in many languages. The most comprehensive English translation is by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. Various modern abridged versions are also available for more accessible reading.
Yes, numerous films, TV series, novels, comic books, and plays have adapted the epic. Notable versions include Peter Brook's play and film "The Mahabharata" and the 1988-1990 Indian television series.
