ABSTRACT
Draupadi, the heroic princess of the Hindu epic of Mahabharata is the epitome of feminism and feminity [sic]. Through out history Draupadi has remained an enigmatic woman of substance. Fragile, with a granite will, compassionate yet volcanic enough to reduce her enemies to ashes. Draupadi alone enjoyed the unique relationship of sakhi (female-friend) with her sakha (male-friend) Krishna. Krishna’s divine presence was constant in her life, whenever life’s obstacles seemed insurmountable, there was Krishna gently guiding her.
