Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of the Sabha Parva from the Mahabharata.

The Sabha Parva is the hinge on which the entire Mahabharata swings. Most people know Yudhishthira lost his kingdom at dice. Almost nobody knows what actually set it in motion — a palace so beautiful it made a prince stumble, and the humiliation that followed him home to Hastinapura.
