according to mahabharata when pandavas go to virat raj ki rajya sabha draupadi is personal assistant / beautician to the queen of matsya desh.

which region does she say she is from? why does she cover her face the way she does in this serial of mahabharat? does she belong to some other religion? even in those days of the mahabharat?

her dress looks different for a person of that age.

does someone know?

In the original- she says she was a personal assistant to Queen Draupadi (hence from IP)

In this version- No idea. To me, she looks like a hybrid between a Kashmiri and Persian.

that is true . draupadi looks like she belongs to the same religion. only the veil looks or makes her look like she belongs to some other culture. that too so long ago.

according to Mahabharata the pandavas and draupadi say they are from IP.(to matsya raj) and draupadi says she was personal assistant to maharani draupadi. that is how they get hired.

Here the dress and the veil look strange. makes one think does this lady as shown here come from another region?

that way they show many deviations from the popularly known version of mahabharat.

keechaka did not know that draupadi was draupadi.

also kauravas and shakuni did not come to matsya raj to find out about pandavas.

Draupadi names her Gandharva husbands when Keechak's 105 brothers try to cremate her on Keechak's pyre

"Vaisampayana said, 'Then all the relatives of Kichaka, arriving at that place, beheld him there and began to wail aloud, surrounding him on all sides. And beholding Kichaka with every limb mangled, and lying like a tortoise dragged to dry ground from the water, all of them were overcome with exceeding fright, and the bristles of their bodies stood on end. And seeing him crushed all over by Bhima, like a Danava by Indra, they proceeded to take him outside, for performing his funeral obsequies. And then those persons of the Suta clan thus assembled together espied Krishna of faultless limbs hard by, who stood reclining on a pillar. And all the Kichakas assembled there, exclaimed, 'Let this unchaste woman be slain for whom Kichaka hath himself lost his life. Or, without slaying her here, let us cremate her with him that had lusted after her,--for it behoveth us to accomplish in every way what is agreeable to that deceased son of Suta.' And then they addressed Virata, saying, 'It is for her sake that Kichaka hath lost his life. Let him, therefore, be cremated along with her. It behoveth thee to grant this permission.' Thus addressed by them, king Virata, O monarch, knowing fully well the prowess of the Suta gave his assent to Sairindhri being burnt along with the Suta's son. And at this, the Kichakas approaching the frightened and stupefied Krishna of lotus-like eyes, seized her with violence. And binding that damsel of slender-waist and placing her upon the bier, they set out with great energy towards the cemetary. And, O king, while thus forcibly carried towards the cemetary by those sons of the Suta tribe, the blameless and chaste Krishna living under the protections of her lords, then wailed aloud for the help of her husbands, saying, 'Oh, let Jaya, and Jayanta, and Vijaya and Jayatsena, and Jayadvala listen to my words. The Sutas are taking me away. Let those illustrious Gandharvas endued with speed of hand, the clatter of whose cars is loud and the twang of whose bowstrings in the midst of the mighty conflict are heard like the roar of thunder, listen to my words,--the Sutas are taking me away!'

In other words, the Pandavas had to maintain two new identities while incognito: one was Kanka...Tantripala, and the other as Sairandhree's husbands Jaya...Jayadvala
