The Disrobing of Draupadi!
The disrobing of Draupadi is also considered a great indian myth.
As mentioned in Mahabharata, the Kauravas invite the five Pandava brothers to a game of dice. During the game, the Pandavas gamble away everything they possess, even their kingdom, Indraprastha. Even their wife, Draupadi is dragged to the Gambling hall and is then disrobed in public.
In this evocation of a momentous scene from the Mahabharata epic, the imperious expression and outstretched arm of the Kaurava prince Duryodhana's direct attention to miracle unfolding below. Duryodhana's brother Dushasana forcibly attempts to disrobe Draupadi in he center of the assembly hall.
As the Kauravas disrob her, Draupadi raises, her arm in helplessness. Krishna hears her cry and every yard of cloth that has been removed by the Kauravas is magically replaced by another cloth. Despite witnessing this scene, no one comes foward to help Draupadi, not even one of the five Pandavas.
As Dushasana repeatedly tried to strip Draupadi, Krishna's divine grace provides her with an uneding length of material as a sari, thus sparing he further humiliation. The episode of the dice game and the disrobing of Draupadi is the most important enacted scene in an eighteen-night festival held in many towns and cities. This inauspicious events, which tarnishes Draupadi's honor, marks her metamorphosis from contented wife into vengeful goddess.
