'''Kumbh Karan''' is an Indian-animated television series broadcast by the Indian kids channel [[Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo]]. The show was released on 1 June 2010. The show earned a budget of more than $300,000.

== Plot ==
The show centers on the adventures of Kumbh and Karan, two twin brothers who stay in the small colony of Ajab-Gajabpur. Kumbh is chubby, lazy, sleepy, and hungry, but awfully strong with a real soft heart. Karan, on the other hand, is an agile, sharp and better (looking) version of his twin. With their friend Tara, and Kumbh's pet porcupine Kaddu, the twins travel worldwide on various quests.

== Characters ==

* '''Kumbh''' is a plump cherubic 10-year-old boy. He's named after the mythic giant Kumbhkarna in the Ramayana who slept for six months straight and could be revived only with the aroma of food.
* As Kumbh's twin brother, '''Karan''' shares Kumbh's eyes, big ears, but the similarities ends there.
* 7 year old, '''Tara''' is Kumbh and Karan's best friend in Ajab-Gajabpur.
* '''Kaddu''' is Kumbh's pet porcupine who loves food as much as Kumbh. He follows his master everywhere like a Siamese twin.
* '''Sardar''' is the reluctant Chief of Ajab-Gajabpur.
* '''Kabira''' is the trusted lieutenant of Sardar and he is the one who trains Kumbh and Karan in everyday archery and warfare.
* '''Dadi Maa''' is the motherly caretaker of the two boys.
* '''Super Chacha''' is the one who always creates interesting things.
