History knows him as the bastard son of Kunti, abandoned at birth, found and raised by a horse-carriage driver, possessor of a pair of gold earrings and a gold armour, undefeatable in combat and archer extraordinaire.

Indera Rai takes you on a spectacular journey to meet a man made by his circumstances, who rose above all its vagaries and carved out his own niche whether as a child, student, man, lover or companion, brother or arch-rival. To meet a man who loved as deeply as he was loyal.  A man who longed to meet his mother only to be repulsed by the reality of a mother who wouldn’t hesitate to use him to suit her ambition. A man for whom Draupadi had unrequited love; and for whom, Duryodhan was the love of his life. A man torn between love and loyalty, family and facts.

The only man, who could rise above the ashes of the Kurukshetra, and shine like the sun god, after whom he was named Karan... Born of the Sun is his story.
