Play Chakravyuh staged in Kanpur

Kanpurites had an entertaining time when they got an opportunity to watch the play Chakravyuh, recently. The play had actor Nitish Bharadwaj who essayed the key role of lord Krishna. The play, which was directed by Atul Satya Koushik showcased the thirteenth day of the great battle of Mahabharata during which Arjun’s son, Abhimanyu was killed. It thoughtfully questioned the relationship of Abhimanyu with his enemies.
