Mahabharata: Myth or Reality

6. Lakshagriha: Barnava Excavations

The Lakshagriha incident—where the Pandavas escaped from a palace made of flammable materials—is believed to have taken place near Barnava (Uttar Pradesh).

Archaeological studies in this region have uncovered:

• Burnt brick structures
• Underground passages

These findings suggest ancient fire incidents and tunnel systems, though direct links to the Mahabharata remain unconfirmed.
