Abstract

It is believed that there are numerous inscriptions linked to Mahabharata. Here few inscriptions have been discussed. These inscriptions show that the Mahabharata characters were often exploited by later rulers to add an aura of splendor and sanctity to their deeds. It is not an exaggeration to state that the people of India of the present day cherish in their heart the story of Mahabharata. To examine the facts on archaeologically, an attempt has been made to know the truth.
