What would be ages of Pandavas & draupadi during marriage ?

I guess draupadi came out as full grown woman , so she will of marrigable age of that time , would be 16 or 18.

What would be Pandavas age ?

When they came back to Hastinapur after Pandu's death, Yudhisthir was almost of 15years +12 years in Drona's tutelage+1 year in Varnavrat +2 years (approx) in forests and other places = 30+.

Bheem may be of 29+, Arjun may be 27+, Twins may be 25+.

Draupadi may be of 20+

everyone is in their marriage age👍🏼

This is one of the favourite scenes of Yudi for me 😻. The love and respect he has for Panchali, is clearly depicted here.

Highly unlikely that Panchali was 20 plus at marriage. Both Manusmriti and Anushasana Parva give marriage ages for girls.

1. They could be married before puberty

OR

2. Once a girl hit puberty, family needed to wait 3 years before marriage

OR

3. If family still didn't find a groom, girl could find on her own after 3 years of puberty.

Key thing to remember is Panchali is called kumaari chaapi. For a girl to be considered kumaari, she needed to be AT LEAST 13. Ie, Panchali was at least 13 when she popped out of the fire. Also Vyasa's description of her figure tells us quite clearly, she'd hit puberty. So at swayamvar, she was a minimum of 16, but it is highly unlikely women were allowed by families to go beyond that age before marrying them off.

I don't think Yudhishthira's age is stated anywhere. He wouldn't have been allowed to get to 15 with no education. Nor would he have been allowed to get to 30 plus without marrying. Anushasana parva again has ages of marriages for men. I'd say likely mid to late twenties.

I believe but am not certain 25 is when men were supposed to have completed education. So Arjuna and the twins were likely 27 or 28 by swayamvar. Krishna would've been same age.

Add 3 to 5 years for Khandava building, 13 months for exile, then we have Arjuna and Krishna at 32 or 33 by Subhadra haran. Subhadra was born after Kansa vadh. So she was at max 21 but couldn't have gotten to that age without marriage. So she again slips down to 16ish as even a swayamvar wasn't yet arranged.

For how many years did Pandavas lived in forest with pandu ?

I read there was minimum one year difference between all Pandavas birth.
