Plot Summary
The story revolves around one of the central characters of Mahabharata and the best archer of Mahabharata, Karna and tells the Mahabharata from his point of view. The show covers life journey of Karna on his way of becoming a great warrior and a great personality. Karna was the King of Anga(present day Bhagalpur and Munger). Karna was one of the greatest warriors, whose martial exploits are recorded in the Mahābhārata and the only warrior believed to be able to defeat Arjuna in battle, an admiration expressed by Lord Krishna and Bhishma within the body of this work. As per the Mahabharata, Karna was the only warrior in that era who conquered the entire world. Karna single-handedly successfully conducted Digvijaya Yatra, conquering all kings in every direction of the world in order to establish Duryodhana as the emperor of the world and to conduct the Vaishnava sacrifice. Karna was equal to 2 Maharatha warriors.
Karna was the son of Surya and Kunti. He was born to Kunti before her marriage with Pandu. Karna was the closest friend of Duryodhana and fought on his behalf against the Pandavas(his brothers) in the Kurukshetra War. The rest of the story deals with how Karna fought against misfortune throughout his life and his fate for giving assistance to Duryodhana in the Kurukshetra War. The show continued after Karn's death and ending of the war.
Yudhisthir became the king of Hastinapur and ruled the kingdom in the way suggested by Karn and fulfilled his dream of bringing a change in the society. Vrishketu, son of Karn and Parikshit, son of Abhimanyu complete their training and Yudhisthir announces to make Parikshit, the King of Hastinapur. Then the destruction of Dwarka and the Yadavas and at last Krishna being killed by a hunter is shown. At last the Mahaprasthan of the Pandavas is shown where all of them along with Draupadi, start off to a journey to reach the heaven after making Parikshit, the King of Hastinapur. Only Yudhisthir is able to reach heaven alive where he is welcomed by the rest pandavas, Draupadi, all the Kaurav brothers and the eldest brother Karn. Krishna also appears there and the show ends there with Krishna blessing everyone.
