Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Draupadi from the Mahabharata.
Born from a sacrificial fire and destined to change the course of history, Draupadi is perhaps the most powerful female figure in ancient literature. She was a woman who married five brothers, built a kingdom from a forest, and asked a question in a royal assembly that silenced the wisest men in India. Join us as we walk with her from the flames of Panchala to the icy slopes of the Himalayas.
