Draupadi aka Panchali (daughter of Panchal’s king) had been one of the most blessed sisters till date for the virtue of being Lord Krishna’s cherished adoptive sister. She was also affectionately referred to as ‘Krishnae’ by Krishna since she was of the same complexion as he was. The great epic text Mahabhrata describes how Krishna ran to help her when she was being disrobed before her husbands – the mighty Pandavas, her in-laws and the entire Kingdom of Hastinapur by her vile and scheming brother-in-laws (the Kauravas) after her husbands lost her to the Kauravas in the famous game of dice. Krishna even played a key role in restoring her dignity and lost wealth of the Pandavas. |
