Exquisite
This audiobook has beautiful narration and background score. I felt transported to within its world and enjoyed every minute that I spent listening to this classic story.
My only qualm is that it was a short listen. I hope the same crew make their audiobook interpretations of other Indian classic works.
I’d be thrilled to listen to the entire Mahabharata in the same style of rendition.

Quick and easy listen
While I miss the nuances in the original play written by Kalidasa, this is a good overview of the story.
