IS MAHABHARATA JUST AN EPIC OR REAL HISTORICAL EVENT?

Hare krishna prabhuji !!

there are many proofs of dwarika city. see the video below -

Ancient Explorers - Dwarka - The Atlantis of the East.mp4

There is a temple - Malanada Temple in the Edakkad Ward of the Kerala village named Poruvazhy where Duryodhana is worshipped till date....Makes sense, that Mahabharat cannot be just a myth...

Duryodhana began his journey to the southern forest and finally reached where the Malanada Temple is positioned at present. He was so exhausted that he knocked the nearby house and asked for water without realizing that the house belonged to a chieftain of the shudra tribe, Kurava. A elderly woman immediately offered him a toddy to drink (a custom as a respect to Kings) along with a herbal concoction which could ease his exhaustion.
Refreshed, the Hastinapur Yuvraj got up to thank the woman and to his surprise noticed her mangalsutra, which indicated her social status. As per the customs, none of the Kshatriya should eat or drink anything offered by the lower classes.
Moreover, it was a crime for any low caste person to offer drinks and eatables to a Kshatriya. The woman feared that she would be punished for her crime. However, Duryodhana astonished her by saying, “Mother, there is no caste for thirst and hunger.” He was touched by the helping nature of the lady – a lady who risked her own life to help a thirsty prince.

He did not punish her at all, nor he gave her shrap unlike others. Instead, he sat in dhyan on the nearby hill and started worshipping Lord Shiva for the welfare of the Kurava tribe, praying that no divine wrath should be casted upon the tribesmen for feeding a Kshatriya.
This surprised the villagers who rushed in to see the unique high born man who was way different from all the proudy upper caste men who punished them severely and treated them only as downtroddens. Duryodhana then donated the tribesman, 101 yojanas of land and announced that he was gifting them a temple with no idol. He insisted that the priest of the temple would be a Kurava untouchable only.

Till this date the priest of the temple with no idol are the descendants of the old woman. However, the presiding diety is Duryodhana and the minor dieties include his wife Bhanumati, his mother Gandhari and his friend Karna.
The people of this village and tribe worship Duryodhana till date...

Researchers such as Subhash Kak have been researching on Mahabharata and Vedic civilization. They dated Mahabharata to the same period and verified the astronomical references. This article gives a detailed explanation and evidences he found - (Paper Linked). Both of the papers I linked here gives a detailed proof for the Mahabharata.

Apart from the modern day astronomers, even Aryabhata acknowledged that Mahabharata was a real event and calculated that Mahabharata war happened approximately 3100 B.C.

Moreover, all places mentioned in Mahabharata are real places, all are identified as real places. For instance,

Hastinapur is in UP. Indraprastha is the present day Delhi. Dwarka is located in Gujarat coast.
