The heroes Arjuna and Krishna are involved in the burning of the Khandava forest–a dark episode in the Mahabharata known as the Khandava Daha(burning). Thousands died-particularly the people belonging to the Naga tribe; their leader Takshaka and his son survive and they would never forget or forgive this injustice. This story from the Khandava Daha Parva or episode, tells us the story of:
-Arjuna and Krishna's deal with Agni.
-The reasons for burning the Khandava tract
-Arjuna and Krishna's fight against Indra.
-The few who escaped the fire. 
-New allies and enemies.

Arjuna’s actions lead to his exile from Khandavaprastha for 12 years. Arjuna spends the 12-years traveling, building allies and falling in love a few times. Come, follow Arjuna’s adventures!
In order to avoid any chance of breeding resentment amongst themselves, the Pandava brothers decide to set rules regarding their marriage–the rule was simple–if, when a brother was in a room with Draupadi, another brother may not enter that room. Did any brother break that rule? What consequence would they face if they–wittingly or unwittingly–break the rule?
Listen to the stories of:
- Reasons for Arjuna’s exile from Khandavaprastha and brahmacharya.
- Places and tirthas Arjuna visited
- Arjuna’s adventures and valor
- Arjuna and Ulupi
- Arjuna and Chitrangada
- Abduction of Soubhadra
- Meeting Krishna in Dwaraka

Pandavas are finally returning home! Their very advantageous marriage to Draupadi proves to be a brilliant strategy as the Kauravas are taking notice and are calling them back home. This absolutely does not mean that all the Kauravas are glad to see them. Still, the pressure on the Kauravas to do the right thing is intense. The Pandavas are coming home, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Listen to the stories of:
-How things changed for the Pandavas after their marriage to Draupadi.
-Kauravas react to news that Pandavas were alive
-Pandavas return to Hastinapura
-How things were settled between the cousins
-The city of Khandavaprashta and why it is also called Indraprastha.
