द्रौपदी की महाभारत

Draupadi, born from fire and married to the five Pandava brothers, narrates the great epic from her own point of view. She grows up as the daughter of King Drupad, has her marriage arranged through a contest, and becomes queen of a palace built by magic in Indraprastha. She is humiliated in the dice game, endures exile, and urges the war that destroys her family. Her secret feelings for Karna and her bond with Krishna give an intimate angle to the familiar story.

For readers who know the Mahabharata and want to see it through a woman's eyes, as well as newcomers who want an engaging introduction. It offers a vision of the epic in which questions about power, desire and who decides a woman's fate are put front and center.

Thought-provoking; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
