Chandragupta Maurya Serial 2011 All Episodes Exclusive -

Where the 2011 serial diverges from other adaptations is its handling of the end. Instead of ending on a triumphant note, the final episodes (160-180) turn philosophical. Ashish Sharma’s Chandragupta begins to show the weariness of constant violence. The series introduces Jain monk Bhadrabahu, and episodes 170-178 depict the emperor’s slow transformation towards renunciation. The finale (Episodes 179-180) is a somber, visually striking piece: Chandragupta Maurya, the lion of Magadha, performing Sallekhana (the Jain ritual of fasting unto death) in a cave at Shravanabelagola.
