So many. The duel between Rana Sanga and Valentinian may be the best, though.
- To lampshade that with some details; Rana Sanga is one of the two greatest warriors in all of India. He's well over six feet tall, strong enough to literally cut an armored man in half -- vertically -- and unlike most men that powerful is also as fast as he is strong. Valentinian is a skinny weasel of a man pehaps five and a half feet tall at most. Rana Sanga ends the duel by breaking Valentinian's sword and then cracking his skull... but Valentinian lasted three hours before finally going down for the count, vs. a man who has only once before in his life had a solo combat that lasted longer than three minutes. Indeed, had Valentinian not made one single mistake at the end he would have won, because Rana Sanga was busy bleeding out from a leg wound Valentinian had just inflicted shortly before Sanga finally managed to disarm him.
The wedding between Shakuntala and Raghunath Rao.
Honestly, this series has so much awesomeness that one can't pick specific moments that easily.
