The Legacy of Draupadi: Exploring the Intersection of Femininity, Resistance and Self-Identity as Depicted in The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Draupadi by Koral Dasgupta

Author(s) Harshita Gaur, Tanu Kashyap
Country India
Abstract The story of Draupadi, which comes from the epic Mahabharata in ancient India, enthralls audiences even in modern times with its examination of gender, resistance, and self-identity. In order to examine how Draupadi is portrayed in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's ‘The Palace of Illusions’ and Koral Dasgupta's ‘Draupadi’, this research paper explores the complex ways in which these stories present her as a figure of self-realization, defiance, and perseverance. Draupadi's complexity is shown by analyzing themes of gender, resistance, and self-identity in both texts. The way in which Divakaruni portrays Draupadi challenges conventional gender stereotypes by showcasing her ability to negotiate patriarchal restraints with agency and intelligence. In a similar vein, Dasgupta's rendition highlights Draupadi's strength and independence while providing a contemporary viewpoint that challenges stereotypes of gender.
