DRAUPADI

Description

Yajnaseni, is the heroine of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. She was the common wife of the five Pandava brothers—Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva.[1] She is described to be the most beautiful woman of her time and was prophesied to bring the end of many warriors.
Draupadi and her brother, Dhrishtadyumna, were born from a yajna (fire sacrifice) organized by King Drupada of Panchala. Arjuna won her hand in marriage, but she married the five brothers because of her mother-in-law’s misunderstanding. Later, Yudhishthira performed the Rajasuya ritual and achieved the status of the emperor, and she became the queen of Indraprastha. She had five sons, one from each Pandava, who were collectively addressed as the Upapandavas.
