Dear everyone,

Due to some health issues, I won't be able to host the last round phase 2 slots tomorrow (i.e. 18th September, Friday). I will host them on Saturday and Sunday slots only. Announcement regarding this will come on Saturday morning. But Phase 1 will be launched tomorrow only.

Thank you everyone. See you all tomorrow in our last round.

Get well soon Simi

Take Care

Dear all,

Welcoming you all to the final round of this season, which is Mahabharat Challenge: The Mahayuddh.

And finally, the first part of The Mahayuddh is here! ⚔️ I have posted 10 different Mahabharat scenes in 10 separate threads in the Mahabharat Katha forum. The scenes are taken from B. R. Chopra's Mahabharat and Swastik's Mahabharat tv adaptations.

Your task is not simply to identify the scene or describe what you see in the picture. You have to write the scene in your own way. Look at the characters and go deeper into that particular moment. What could each character be feeling or thinking? What might be going on behind those expressions? What could have happened just before this moment, or what might happen immediately afterwards?

This is your ground. You have the scene, and the rest is yours to create. You can bring in dialogues, thoughts, emotions, actions, atmosphere and your own interpretation of the characters. Most of the scenes are popular ones, but if you don't recognise a particular scene, you can always use Google Lens to identify it.

There is no need to reproduce the original dialogues from the shows. I want to see your version of that moment and what you can find beyond what is actually visible in the frame.

• There are 10 scenes, each posted in a separate thread.

• Each write-up must contain a minimum of 10 sentences.

• There is no maximum limit on the number of sentences or words. Let your creativity decide how much you want to write.

• Your write-up must remain connected to the given scene and its characters.

• You are free to add dialogues, thoughts, emotions, actions and interpretations.

• You do not have to reproduce the original dialogues from the television adaptations.

• Each write-up will be judged out of 50 points. With 10 scenes, the maximum judge's score will be 500 points.

• The deadline for submitting your write ups in the respective threads is 26th September, 2026 (11.59 PM IST).

• The participant-to-participant evaluation will happen too after this phase ends. Participants will be randomly paired, and each participant will give points to their assigned partner's entries for each scene via PM to me. Details of this process will be shared later.

• If you wish, you can also share your feedback openly on the respective scene threads after this phase gets over, but that is completely optional.

For any queries or doubts regarding this phase, please post them here in this thread.

Important note

As for the live-slots phase (Phase 2), I have to postpon it to the next weekend. I am currently dealing with a terrible headache, a continuous heavy-headed feeling and occasional fever, so I don't think I will be able to host the live round properly this week as I planned and expected. I am hoping to recover soon, and I will share the complete details and the new schedule sometime next week once I am feeling better. I hope you all understand and bear with me.

For now, the first battle of The Mahayuddh begins. The scene is yours. The story is yours. Let the Mahayuddh begin. ⚔️

(Please note: All write ups must adhere strictly to G or M ratings, where M is restricted solely to mild depictions of war, violence or sensitive themes, with explicit or sexual content entirely prohibited. All submissions must maintain respect for the sacred text, culture and reader sentiments without being offensive or dismissive.)

Below are the 10 scenes:

Scene 1

Scene 2

Scene 3

Scene 4

Scene 5

Scene 6

Scene 7

Scene 8

Scene 9

Scene 10

Thank you Darshi, Amru, Vera & Kavya for your good wishes...

@Darshi: Sad to hear this, take care of you & your son. It seems that weather is bad everywhere these days. I am also suffering since Monday.🫠

Tagging everyone tomorrow, not able to do this today anymore...

Hi I hope you feel better soon

How many write ups do we have to do? Writing ten sentences for ten scenes is too time consuming. I don't know about Mahabharata to write it without researching for ages.

Also what are the minimum number of rounds we have to participate in for a badge?

Hey take care! Health comes first

Also, writing for 10 scenes will get upto 500 points depending on the judges?

So writing on 10 scenes with 10 sentences is time consuming and honestly, I would not spare so much time on an activity for points.

I will submit just 1 scene which I like and I am okay if I get less marks. This is not a school anyway

Few doubts

1. Do we have to pm you the writ-ups or post them in the respective threads of the scenes?

2. So basically we have to ask Google lens what's going on in the scenes, who are the characters and write the scenes in our own way, correct?

This round too is very time consuming and I only have time during weekend to do the write-ups. I will only submit whatever scenes I can and whichever scenes interest me.

I may be able to write scenes. But i will not be able to read and judge others as I get eye strain and headache.

Take care of your health Simi

I've sent out PMs to everyone now!
I completely understand that this round too might feel a bit time-consuming for you all. Truth be told, as much as AI has made our lives easier, designing rounds in this age of AI has become quite a challenge for me as a host. While AI makes framing questions simple, it also makes them very easy to solve with the same help from AI! I feel creating rounds that are thoughtful and making it AI-proof is the best way to give everyone space to showcase their true wit and creativity which, at the end of the day, is where the real fun and challenge lie.

Originally, Phase 2 was meant to be the only event for Round 5. However, I realized that live time slots might prevent some of you from scoring high, so I designed this additional phase to give everyone a fair shot.
At the end of the day, I really hope I haven't gone overboard, and I hope you all have a fantastic time playing it!
