Nala‑Damayanti narrates one of the most beloved romances from the Mahabharata (Nalopakhyana). King Nala of Nishadha falls in love with Princess Damayanti of Vidarbha even before meeting her, enchanted by her virtues through the divine swan's messenger. Their love blossoms amidst trials—including deception by gods, a devastating game of dice, exile, separation, and disguise. Damayanti’s unwavering loyalty and Nala’s resilience eventually reunite them, illustrating the timeless power of devotion, duty (dharma), and destiny. This edition is richly illustrated, drawing from traditional Mughal and Pahari miniature painting traditions to bring the epic tale to life
