Story Of Draupadi From Mahabharat

Draupadi is one of the most important female characters in the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. She is often referred as Draupadi meaning the daughter of Drupada, Krishna meaning the one who is dark complexioned, Panchali meaning the one from the land of Panchala, Yajnaseni meaning the one born from the sacred fire sacrifice. These are just a few of the names used to refer to Draupadi in the Mahabharata. Draupadi is considered as one of the Panch-Kanyas or Five Virgins. To know details about the five Panchakanyas, watch the videos linked in the comments below. Draupadi is the daughter of Drupada, King of Panchala. According to the epic Mahābhārata, the Bareilly region of today was the Panchala kingdom, thousands of years ago. It was the birthplace of Draupadi, thus the name 'Panchali'. Drona, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas, with the help of his students, defeated King Drupada of Panchala and subsequently took half his kingdom. To gain revenge on Drona, Drupada performed a yajña called Putrakameshti yajna to obtain a means of besting him. From the sacrificial fire, Draupadi emerged as a beautiful dark-skinned young woman after her sibling Dhrishtadyumna. When she emerged from the fire, a heavenly voice said that she would bring about the destruction of the Kuru line. Draupadi is described in the Mahabharata as a very beautiful woman of that time.Drupada intended to wed his daughter to Arjuna. Upon hearing of the Pandavas' supposed death at Varanavata, also popularly known as the Lakshgraha or the wax house built by Duryodhana, Drupada sets up a Swayamvara for Draupadi to choose her husband.
