The "Online Indexing of Mahabharata" was completed as part of M.Phil. research submitted to Special Center for Sanskrit Studies, JNU in 2008 by Diwakar Mani (M.Phil 2006-2008) under the supervision of Dr. Girish Nath Jha . The application allows three kinds of searches -

1. Direct Search - user can enter key word in utf-8 and get all the references and details from Mahabharata
2. Alphabetical search - user can click on a Devanagari alphabet to get the index of words beginning with that alphabet
3. Search by the structure of the text - user can click on "parvas" > "upa-parvas" > "adhyayas" > "akhyanas" to get the index

Clicking on an indexed word will display the details for that word and also a facility to search that word in some other online lexical resources.
