Maya Darpana

Product details

This popular scene from the Epic Mahabharata illustrates the Maya Darpanam or the magical mirror which enabled real time video communication in those times, much like what we do nowadays. This scene was further popularised by the super hit movie Maya Bazaar.

The person the screen is Shakuni, seeing him talk are Lord Krishna, Satyabhama, Rukmini, Balarama & Revathi. On the wedding day, Ghatotkacha appears before Lakshmana Kumara in various tantalising form while, at the hermitage, Sasirekha marries Abhimanyu. When Shakuni discovers what has really happened, he blames Krishna. Satyaki, Arjuna’s disciple, asks Shakuni to speak standing on a magical box. He proceeds to stand on the box, which makes him involuntarily explain the Kauravas’ real intentions behind the marriage proposal. Ghatotkacha then reveals his identity. After humiliating the Kauravas, Ghatotkacha sends them back to Hastinapuram. Sasirekha’s parents accept her marriage. They thank Ghatotkacha, who credits Krishna as the mastermind behind everything, including Abhimanyu and Sasirekha’s marriage. ( Source wikipedia)
