Ep.94: Ashwatthama Strikes: The Massacre at Night
Update: 2025-07-01
Description
The war is over. Or so everyone believes. But in the shadow of the banyan tree, Ashwatthama, son of Dronacharya, makes a vow. As his rage builds and the forest turns silent, he watches an owl slaughter sleeping crows… and finds his method. This episode is the story of the night that changed everything: the night the Pandava camp burned, the sons of Draupadi were killed, and warrior honour was extinguished not in battle, but in sleep.
