Two such females spoken of, in history likewise are Draupadi in East and Penelope in West, the wives of the greatest heroes of mankind. Panchaali is united with Karna in heaven.Females have always been the silent, voiceless and the subaltern sex, but when it comes to assigning some place to these poor, inferior sexes, then they are at the receiving end of the blame-game of the society in history, if at all they are to be given a place. After hearing of Krishna’s death soon after the war, Panchaali’s husbands decide that it is time for them to die and transition to the afterlife. Many people who are close to Panchaali, including Drupad, Dhri, and Karna, are killed in the war. As a result of this violence, the Great War breaks out between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Panchaali and her husband, Bheem, murder Keechak. While disguised as a maid, Panchaali scorns the advances of Prince Keechak, who threatens to rape her. During her exile, Panchaali’s sole focus is revenge.Īfter living in exile for 12 years, the Pandavas go into hiding in a neighboring palace. As a result, Duryodhan takes possession of the Palace of Illusions while Panchaali and her husbands are exiled to the woods for 12 years. The next time the Pandavas visit Duryodhan, Yudhisthir, the oldest Pandava, bets away the Pandavas’ palace and freedom in a game of dice.
During a visit, Duryodhan falls into a pool, and Panchaali’s attendants laugh at him, causing him humiliation. The Pandavas build up the prosperous city of Indra Prastha and take up residence in the Palace of Illusions, a magical structure that Panchaali grows to love. The Pandavas went into hiding after their cousin, Duryodhan, tried to kill them in a fire.Īfter Panchaali marries the Pandava brothers, King Bheeshma divides their kingdom between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the latter of whom are led by Duryodhan. His mother, Kunti, insists that Panchaali marry the remaining four Pandava brothers. Panchaali travels home to Arjun’s family. Arjun, one of the Pandava princes, steps in and wins the tournament. Though he cannot answer her question, she harbors romantic feelings for him.
Karna, a great warrior, is initially the only one who passes the contest’s archery test, but Panchaali humiliates him by asking who his parents are. When Panchaali is old enough to be married, King Drupad hosts a contest to find her a husband.
