The Swastik Pictures had approached the website seeking information on details on the Pandavas and Kauravas, life of Pandu and Dhritarashtra, the costumes used by the people during Mahabharata period etc. The makeup is so over the top that you can clearly see Krishna’s lipstick and Satyavati’s fake eyelashes. We are stuck with extremely elaborate costumes, impossibly ornate head gear and jewelry (sometimes rather tacky) and some really serious make up. Clearly no reliance is placed on actual research, and there is no concession made to how people might possibly have dressed thousands of years ago.
