FAQs

Is the name supposed to be Dharmakshetra = धर्मक्षेत्र = Dharmakṣetra?

"Shetra" or षेत्र or शेत्र is not a word.

Does "it must be canon" mean that you can't imagine a new incident, or change the characters' attributes and relationships? For example, some TV versions have Karṇa instead of Dauḥśāsani dealing the death blow to Abhimanyu, or Śakuni limping and squinting and being the only character without dental hygiene ...

"Canon" means the original storyline must not be distorted. Example : No kinds of love angle between Draupadi and Karna will be considered as valid entry. Else authors are free to recreate any situations of MB based on their own imaginations.

I just PM'ed you two Nano Dramas - scripts with dialogue and action in less than 50 words.

If the format isn't what you had in mind, please tell us all what the format should be. Thanks!

I hope participation in this contest will be strong!

Ooh this sounds interesting! Don't know if I'll get time to participate but I am looking forward to reading the awesome entries from everyone! 😃

Oh yeah, I forgot to recheck the spelling on google. Gonna correct it.

It should be an imaginative story without distorting the original storyline. Meaning I can imagine a conversion between Krishn and Arjun or can I already write known stories of Mahabharata. We have a number of short tales within the Mahabharata Katha. Can you please explain in detail if you can ? 

And thanks for the tag ⭐️
