Venmurasu (Tamil: வெண்முரசு Veṇmuracu; transl. Sacred Proclamation) is a Tamil novel by writer Jeyamohan. It is a modern renarration of the Indian classical epic Mahabharata, and is considered[by whom?] Jeyamohan's most ambitious work to date, with "a scope and scale that seeks to match the grandness of the epic itself."

It is one of the longest novels ever published[2]. Jeyamohan stated that he began writing the work in January 2014, and announced plans to continue writing it every day over ten years. The book was completed in 2020, spanning 26 volumes and 26,000 pages.[3][4]

Venmurasu was written as a series of books following the linear style of the Mahabharatha. The novel has been published as both a Collector's edition and Paperback edition.
