Ashwatthama by Ashutosh Garg reimagines the Mahabharata through the eyes of the immortal warrior. After the devastating war, Ashwatthama commits two horrific acts that invite Krishna’s wrath. Cursed to wander the earth for thousands of years in endless pain, he is stripped of honour, purpose and the release of death.
About Ashwatthama
As centuries unfold, a question haunts him: was Krishna’s curse truly punishment… or part of a greater purpose? Burdened by guilt and eternity, Ashwatthama journeys across ages in search of answers. In this compelling retelling, Garg explores untold struggles, dilemmas and inner conflicts of one of the epic’s most enigmatic characters, challenging long-held perceptions.
