i think the archers were treated as foremost warriors or best warriors at that time.or let us say higher in ranking. may b thats why u see mostly in swayanvar the competition was mostly related to dhanush(bow).hence may b drupad wanted the best archer to win.thats an assumption based on few observations.if its wrong forgive my limited knowledge 😊

Well the swyambar set was beautiful and magnificient

But story was distorted .Although what duryodhan said made sense but he never asked karna to win the competition on his behalf?And what was karna saying that if this competition wasnt part of swyambar he would have participated, that menas he actually didnt come to win he only came to accompany duryodhan like shakuni.Well if that is the case and he truly feels that his marriage to Drauapdi is not right for whatever reason why should he feel bad becuase of her rejection?

I am also confused becuse in promo Draupadi clealry says i wont marry a sutputra does it mean that it hasnt been clarified that if karna wins she will marry Duryodhan not karna.Becuase if she did know that she will marry duryodhan if karna wins there is no basis of saying that statement Duryodhan is not a sutputra.I really fear that the main basis for rejecting karna will be the fact that he is participating on duryodhan's behalf and he would refuse to participate for himslef.Which will completley distort the reason for Karna's bitterness towards Draupadi

Best thing was set and drauapdi were looking pretty

@Diala:But if Karna and duryodhan's deal isnt disclosed and drauapdi says the she wont marry a sutputra then wont karna clarify the she doenst have to marry suputra if he wins she will marry Duryodhan who is not a sutputra.What will happen then how will they stop Karna then?

If Karna is the representative of Duryodhan then I don't see any good reason for Draupadi to reject him. Shakuni was right. Even Bhishma abducted the princesses of Kashi, this one is atleast an open competition.

Apparently Rukhmi is the only prominent name participating in the Swayamvar other than the Chandal Chaukdi. Other stalwarts like Jaydrath, Shishupal, Shalya, Jarasandh etc have been completely forgotten. Have they even cast these characters? I thought they would introduce Jarasandh and Jaydrath today. But it seems to be a low profile event.😆

i hope they introduce other characters on monday becuase after arjun wins the swyambar there is a tiff betwee arjun ,bheem and other kings present there.So to show that tiff others need to be introduced
