Not even a single person gives eminence to Draupadi’s desires. The depiction of Draupadi as an angry woman in a man’s world brings out the status of women in a patriarchal society where women’s wishes are not considered as important. She justifies this lifetime sentence by remunerating that probably this was her punishment for treating Karna unfairly.

Abstract: In The Palace of Illusion, Divakaruni portrays Panchali as a bold, powerful and independent woman, an equal to the men and not subservient. She presents Panchali’s life as a series of choices made by her and giving her a voice in the overwhelmingly patriarchal society that was ancient India. Divakaruni interprets the epic – Mahabharat which provides a complete narrative. She gives a stronger role to the women of the story, and portrays them as equals in society. This paper aims at the new perspective given to Panchali by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Draupadi has been portrayed mostly negatively in Hindu society in India and we will fail to find girls being named after her. Many believe that it was her headstrong actions that brought about the destruction of the Third Age of Man. She is known to be a kritya - one who brings doom to her clan. But Divakaruni moves away from such interpretations to provide a new outlook of Panchali.
