In this episode of Storytelling with Shweta, we hear about Dushala - the Kaurava Princess. Though many know her as the only sister to 100 Kaurava brothers, the epic does not really offer up a lot of other details about her. All the more reason why Dushala deserves her own episode. This story is from the Women of the Mahabharata series.

Apart from Dushala, this story also features Arjuna - one of the most well-known Pandavas in the epic. This family-friendly story is best for all who enjoy stories from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, Indian mythology and Folk tales.
