Mythology, ancient history and war never fail to ignite a sense of curiosity among most of us. From the battlefields of Kurukshetra to the trenches of Troy, war has fuelled the imaginations of people across cultures. Be it the portrayal of perfectionist Arjuna or flawed hero Achilles, the notions of kingship and social order were all shaped on the battlefield. The Mythological Project (TMP) has organised a two-day workshop that delves into the world of bloody feuds and brutal war in ancient times. Arundhati Dasgupta and Utkarsh Patel, co-founders of TMP, will lead the session.
