The “Mahabharata” is a Sanskrit epic poem from the Indian subcontinent that is considered one of the foundational texts of Hinduism. For years, archaeologists and historians have been looking for evidence of the numerous events described in the text.
said archaeologists had discovered artifacts with strong “cultural resemblance” to those found at sites such as Hastinapur, Indraprastha, Kurukshetra, and Mathura, all of which are mentioned in the “Mahabharata.” The whole effort is called the Lakshagriha Excavation Project, named after the “labyrinth-like chamber built of highly flammable lacquer by the Kauravas to burn alive the Pandavas, who foiled the plot and escaped through a tunnel.
We should note that the author S.P. Gupta and senior archaeologists of the ASI were often accused of having right-leaning sympathies.
