‘Sri Krishna, I am being put
through an ordeal, the foolishActs of your cousins are burning me up, save
from these wicked onesWho are stripping me of the cloth I am clad in!You
alone can save me, the saviour of the helpless; If I lose my honour, can I stay
alive?’She vowed to never tie her hair till the day the Pandavas avenged the
humiliation she had been subjected to by the Kauravas. That her hair would be
left untamed and wild till the day Bhima would kill Dushyasana and smear her
hair with his blood.This is an epic poem narrating the saga of one of the
most important, intriguing and complex female characters of Hindu
mythology—Draupadi of Mahabharata.The Flaming Tresses of Draupadi traces the
life and journey of Draupadi from her birth from the sacrificial
fire—whereupon she was named ‘Yagnaseni’—to her marriage with the five
brothers, to losing her fortune and honour to the Kauravas in a gamble, the
deep friendship she forged with Lord Krishna and finally the culmination of
the great war of Kurukshetra.In this epic poem of hatred, love, victory and
defeat, Draupadi emerges as a strong female character that ultimately brought
to retribution all those who had done injustice to her.
