Rise of Hastinapur continues The Mahabharata Saga at the moment when power replaces promise.

With Bhishma bound by his terrible vow, the fate of Hastinapur rests in the hands of Queen Satyavati. Her sons ascend the throne one after another, only to fall before destiny allows them to rule. As the royal line teeters on extinction, an ancient solution is invoked — the summoning of Vyasa, the sage born of destiny.

From the sacred rite of niyoga emerge three sons:
Dhritarashtra, born blind yet powerful;
Pandu, strong and radiant yet cursed;
and Vidura, wise beyond measure yet denied kingship.

As Pandu rises to power and expands the kingdom, a single moment in the forest seals his fate forever. A curse condemns him to a life without heirs, forcing him into exile and leaving Hastinapur under uneasy rule.

This is a story of queens and sages, vows and bloodlines — where every solution carries a hidden cost. Rise of Hastinapur is not merely about a kingdom growing stronger, but about how the foundations of conflict are laid long before the first arrow is drawn.
