In the Mahabharata, two families vie for the throne of Hastinapura. These families, the
Kauravas and the Pandavas, disagree about the proper line of succession. Most of the epic tale
concerns the war between them, which culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra. In the
end, the Pandavas are victorious.

The conflict culminates in the battle of Kurukshetra. The Pandavas defeat the Kauravas and
ascent to the throne.

The battle between the cousins is one between good vs evil, darkness vs light, dharma vs
adharma.

 When it comes time for a new king to ascend to the throne, the Kaurava, the senior of the two
families, attempts to claim the throne. Their eldest member, however, is younger than the
eldest member of the Pandavas, who cite this as reason for them to inherit the throne. Much of
the epic details the marriages, births, and deaths of these two families, and even before the
battle begins it's clear that these struggles have caused the world to be as dark and troubled as it
is today.

The pandavas lead by Arjuna and krishna defeat the kauravas lead by duryodhana and karna
and take back their kingdom.
