This lady is the symbol of strength who survived in a village without anyone’s support, while being pregnant. She is a symbol of love, for she had a love for her husband that no one could define. She is that lady who replied Lord Laxmana that she is a Goddess and the Daughter of Earth and that no one can abandon her!mythology

2. Draupadi : what is it, that comes to your mind on hearing this name? It should be the Vastrabharanam. Put just this infamous incident on the side and look beyond it. Born from the fire, she is fiery and strong willed. It just did not happen right with her that she was used as a stake for gambling. She exactly knew how to plan and take revenge against her enemies and rightly never failed. So do not play with something you think as the weakness of a woman. You never know what she is from the inside.mythology
