About the show

The Mahabharata, told one night at a time. Slow bedtime retellings of the great epic, taken from its old English translations and read by the Night Reader over soft music. About half an hour a night; each night is complete in itself and ends calmly. The sources are listed in every episode's notes. Myths are told as myths. Relaxation, not medical advice. Narrated by Sanvi.
