Her life was all about giving- she gave her father his revenge, her husbands their glory, her sons to the war, forgiveness to the helpless and justice to the evil but what did she get? She never failed anyone but time and again, others failed her.



Thanks Krishnaa. Yes, she was a very giving lady. We've seen glimpses of it after Subhadra came to IP. How she accepted her whole heartedly and it's said, Abhimanyu was closer to Draupadi than his own mother

awesome post about a truly awesome woman.


No doubt, she's a one of a kind heroine. Even Pooja said in her interview she admires and worships Draupadi a lot. No wonder it shows in her performance

Here is the link to a version where Draupadi is considered a form of Lakshmi

When Vishnu is Parashurama, Lakshmi takes the form of his father's cow. In other words, she is his mother, providing him nutrition. When Vishnu is Ram, Lakshmi takes the form of Sita, his faithful wife, who stands by his side at all times. When Vishnu is Krishna, Lakshmi takes the form of Draupadi, not his mother or his wife, but a distant relative, barely connected by blood or marriage. Draupadi cares for Krishna as Radha does, without expectations. And that is why Krishna always watches over her,

Hiii Moni! Great to see some familiar faces here. I posted a link above on the version where Draupadi is considered an avatar of Lakshmi

Beautiful writing my dear...👏

I love and respect Draupadi a lot...I actually worship this character...
What a woman she was...Not flawless, yet so enigmatic, so strong n so different...
Even I feel surprised to see some people calling Draupadi characterless...
Well, trust me, I have realized one thing that only those who have not read and understood the essence of the epic, talk rubbish about Draupadi...
It's really disappointing that some people only remember her words, but not her sacrifices...
You have written about Draupadi very well...n I so agree with each n every word that u have written...
As for Draupadi being an avatar, I think she was the composite avatar of Ma Kali or Ma Parvati and Ma Lakshmi, along with some other goddesses, bcoz she had traits of both Ma Lakshmi n Ma Adi Shakti. 😊

Thanks Amritat. Yes, she is a multi layered character but nevertheless very inspiring and courageous. The saddest part is some women themselves don't understand her character very well. As far as her origin is concerned, I guess there are various versions to it. How I wish she was just human😊
