The portrayal of Yudhishthiraâs struggles with his conscience, Arjunaâs inner conflict, and Krishnaâs answers to the problems of the characters were all portrayed brilliantly. The show never once felt preachy, and the narrative was smooth and engaging. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the show was its fitting portrayal of the philosophies of Dharma and Karma. The show explored the many facets of Dharma â from Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga â and showed how these principles could be applied in real-life situations. Overall, Dharmakshetra was an exceptional show that took the audience on a journey through time and delved into the complexities of the human mind.
