Epilore puts you inside the great moments of the Mahabharata, and asks what you would do.

Four brothers lie dead beside a lake, and you can bring back only one. Your real family offers you a crown, if you betray your closest friend. Your whole family waits across the battlefield, and the first arrow is yours.

You choose first. Then you see what really happened, why, and where the text says it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Each story takes about five minutes, one short screen at a time.
• You make the choice before you see what the character did.
• Then go deeper: a reflection for real life, the character's background, and the original source.

HONEST ABOUT SOURCES
Every story is drawn from K.M. Ganguli's English translation of the Mahabharata (1883 to 1896), including the Bhagavad Gita. Every line is labelled. A quote shows the translation's exact words and its section, next to a plain English version. Our own retelling, interpretations and modern reflections are always marked as ours. Nothing is invented and put in a character's mouth.

EVERY DAY, WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• A line on your lock screen: Krishna's words from the Bhagavad Gita on a photo you pick, a new line each day. It is off until you turn it on, and it only changes your lock screen picture.
• A home screen widget with a line from a story you have finished. Tap it to read the story again.

EXPLORE
• Today's choice: one story picked for you each day. No streaks.
