[yehsahihai]

saw ur comment on this post and wanted to ask, how did u discover that in vadodara specifically?

Laxmi Vilas palace and the nearby museum has an extensive collection of authentic raja ravi Varma paintings. I was looking at this one painting of sarirandhri and keechak and realised I'd seen something similar in ACK comics. Went and Googled and saw the extreme similarities between his paintings and the covers

Master Krishnarao - Keechak Wadh

[hinduimages]

The place where Bhima killed Kichaka. This is in Jhapa near Kechana, the lowest altitude place of Nepal.

Random thoughts that keep me awake at night (Part III)

I have painful little almost no fondness for Yudhishthira, but sometimes, I wonder what it must've been like to be him - to be pushed towards a throne he'd rather do without, to barter and stake his family and then have them accompany him on the exile, knowing that he was responsible for their horrible fate to an extent, and to have their support despite it.

How must he have felt when he found them putting up with his truth and righteousness, and sticking with his in spite of everything? How must he have felt, when he asked the Yaksha for Nakul, knowing that he had three more brothers waiting to be revived? How could he face Draupadi after dismissing her and calling her an actress at Virata? What would he have done, if Bheem had not stopped Keechak?

Sometimes, I think he did not even notice all this. But then, if he did, I wonder how sad and terrible his life was.

[demonkidpliz]

Things I learned while re-watching Star Plus Mahabharata (Part 16/many):

1) As ever with Duryodhan, I cannot disagree with anything he says.

2) Oh god. This scene. Panchali’s curse. Her walking away as Arjun looks on. Gold.

3) Not sure I like this new version of Krishna seekh.

4) Also we have not seen Krishna fight once in this battle of Dwarka vs the King of Shalva.

5) I also don’t like crying Krishna. Not saying he can’t. But I can’t take him seriously when he cries. I need him to be infinitely more chill than SRJ is being right now.

6) Ah, Arjun swearing at the Kurus. A+ 10/10.

7) Oh my fucking god, Subhadra’s opening line to Arjun: how could you let this happen? I expect nothing less from her.

8) Madhav is back now, after chilling in his war. He’s still in a self-driven chariot.

9) Wow, he’s so pissed at the Pandavas and rightfully so.

10) Draupadi telling Krishna that she’s become impure. And anyone who comes near her would also become impure. No. NO. Every woman in the world knows this feeling.

11) Okay, first of all, Krishna, you moonlighting feminist, the first thing you should tell Draupadi is that she has not become malin because of what Duryodhana and Dushasan did. This is on them, not on her. I cannot but compare StarBharat with BR Chopra Mahabharat, the comparisons come very easily to me. And the truth is, they just did some things better.

12) Draupadi’s now fallen at his feet. Krishna is just like, Lord give me strength.

13) This scene is important because I feel like for once Krishna is putting his grand plans on hold for one second to give Draupadi back her peace of mind. Because first and foremost, the Lord is kind to those who follow him.

14) It’s so nice that StarBharat has shown this sort of sisterly solidarity between Draupadi and Subhadra, which is so important.

15) Draupadi is not even remotely impressed by Yudhishthira’s theatrics.

16) Draupadi’s pratigya makes her sound like Bhishma. Intentional or unintentional.

17) I cannot imagine Subhadra watching idly by as the Pandavas and Draupadi walk to the forest. I’m sure she put up a fight against her brothers to be allowed to go.

18) Speaking of, where is Balaram in all of this? His cousins are heading for vanvas and he is still chilling in Dwarka? Unrealistic.

19) Oh nice, Abhimanyu hasn’t even been born yet but somehow Krishna has managed to name him.

20) That scene where Arjun stops Subhadra from touching his feet. Some of StarBharat’s dialogueless scenes are just as touching.

21) Krishna’s glare as Shakuni enters the Indraprastha palace lmaoo.

22) A well executed scene but the watering hole scene happens only towards the end of the 12-year vanvas period.

23) This is hilarious. Yudhishthira is basically like Krishna is going to whoop my ass if I let something else happen to Panchali.

24) Oh god. Everyone loves Arjun the most. But I think Yudhishthira loves Bhim the most.

25) It’s time for Yudhishthira to meet his bio daddy!

26) Arjun doing tapasya for Shiv is my jam.

27) Bhim is such a cutie.

28) This Hanuman story is different though, right? Something to do with some lotus for Draupadi.

29) Is Hanuman a Yadav? He wears the same tilak. Or is this some Ram/Krishna connection we don’t quite know about.

30) I love Hanuman’s character! He’s so playful. And also the Hanuman Chalisa in the background score.

31) Oh so Hanuman knows that Krishna is Ram/Vishnu avatar and says he will chill on the chariot that’s being manned by God.

32) Oh no they never told us about the magic bowl Draupadi had that was gifted to her by Surya Dev which gave them unlimited food.

33) Also, do the Pandavas and Karna ever realise that they are all ‘gifts’ of Durvasa.

34) Krishna creeping in the background like some mega creep 😂

35) This is a conversation for another time but some day we need to talk about the incessant whitewashing of our gods such as Ram and Krishna in modern mythological serials. Also of Draupadi/Dhrishtadyumna/Arjun—basically anyone who’s described in canon as dark. There is some modern fetish for fair-skinned gods that just doesn’t sit right. I miss the dark-skinned Aruns and Nitishs.

36) Durvasa is still not impressed by Krishna. This man is literally god.

37) Arjun is fishing.

38) Oh nice, Indra is also here. Old gods and new.

39) Not sure whether I like this Shiv. Shiv in general I love.

40) Aaaand Jayadrath is here. Can’t wait for this guy to die in tomorrow’s BR Chopra Mahabharat episode.

41) Duryodhan low key throwing shade at Jayadrath is my jam.

42) Really, what does Dushala see in this man?

43) Kaun ho tum? Really? Draupadi doesn’t know her own brother-in-law? That seems highly unlikely.

44) Why is Arjun wasting time with all this trash talk?

45) Arjun is having a lot of second thoughts about keeping Jayadrath alive for Dushala’s sake but this is going to change very quickly during the war. Also Nakul rightfully points out that this man will give grief to Arjun later on.

46) This is by far the worst and most inaccurate map of Aryavarta to ever exist.

47) Oh no Jayadrath’s hair makeup is so not on point at this moment.

48) Mamashri Shakuni is literally fortune telling at this point and this is my jam.

49) So it’s canon that both Shakuni and Krishna are Slytherins, right? Yet they are the two most diametrically opposite Slytherins we have ever seen.

50) Also I want to see Dushala but these shows never give me what I want. When I make the Mahabharata I will make sure the women get equal and opposite screen time and character development as the men.

51) Yudhishthira is getting on my nerves.

52) This Draupadi is infinitely nicer than BR Chopra Mahabharat’s Roopa Ganguli who used to give it to her husbands every opportunity she got.

53) I also have lots of complaints. They didn’t show Dhrishtadyumna taking Draupadi’s sons home to Panchal to raise them.

54) They didn’t show Arjun chilling with his bio dad in heaven! They didn’t show Urvashi hitting on him and him rejecting her advances! Then she curses him, causing him to lose his manhood. And then she reverses the curse after Indra begs her and she limits it to lost manhood for one year of his choosing. That’s how Arjun uses the Brihannala guise for a year during agyaatvaas!

55) Shakuni training himself to think like Krishna. Looool.

56) Nakul bullying children is my jam.

57) Clearly this sattoo ke laddoo business is some sort of secret code amongst the Pandavas.

58) At least Uttar and Uttara are aptly shown as young teenagers.

59) My fav is back! Brihannala! 😍

60) Also what is this face covering nonsense by Sairindhri?! Women in the Later Vedic Age did not cover their faces or their heads behind purdah!!!

61) The Pandavas meeting together after a long time is giving me hope! This is what it’s going to be like when lockdown is over and I meet my friends 😭😭😭

62) This Keechak guy looks evil but I can’t take him seriously because his voice makes him sound like a prepubescent boy.

63) What is this casual classism from Keechak? Like Jesus, what a dirtbag.

64) Again there was no ghunghat back in those days?!?!

65) But iss Keechak ne toh consent ki maa behen kar di.

66) How happy the Pandavas are to see Panchali! Arjun the most, perhaps 😍

67) Virat making a dig at Dushasan. I’m here for this tea.

68) I can’t take Keechak seriously because of his voice.

69) This logic whereby if Draupadi has five husbands so she can have one more—like I will never understand this! She consented to five and no more???

70) Brihannala, my one true fav, is back!

71) Keechak vadh is my favourite episode, behind Shishupal vadh and Jayadrath vadh. Do you see the pattern?

72) Why is Draupadi here? I wanted to see Bhim’s giant form hidden as a lump under a blanket, enticing Keechak.

73) Bhim is here! 😍 Seriously, no one loves Panchali as much as Bhim does. Arjun toh is smitten by our Yadav homegirl.

74) Now Arjun is going to do his tandav dance. This should distract the others from the noise nicely.

75) Oh nice. Nakul and Sahadev are also participating.

76) Predictably, Jyesth Bhrata, Yudhishthira, is not invited to this Keechak vadh party.

77) King Virat is like oh no what a loss.

78) Yudhishthira looks pissed, as always, when his brothers have done something good.

79) Haha. Duryodhan has caught on to the fact that Bhishma is trying desperately to stall so that the Pandavas are not found out.

81) Now Duryodhan is now accusing Vidur of partiality. Again, he is not wrong. I’m so impressed by how well his character has been written. Not one word he says is incorrect.

82) Nice. Duryodhan has his father wrapped around his little finger. He knows exactly how to manipulate him so that Dhritarashtra rises to the bait.

83) After all these centuries Bhishma realises that Shakuni is after the destruction of Hastinapur.

84) Shakuni is admitting now that all of this is revenge for Gandhari. Oh man. Do you think Bhishma knew that the Mahabharat was the result of his poorly executed actions (intentional or otherwise)?

85) King Virat is so smart. I like him. I’m going to be so sad when he dies.

86) Brihannala is going to stay behind. Great. It’s so interesting to see this story in retrospect (which is how it’s told to Janamajeya and Vajra) in the first place.

87) I like Virat with open hair.

88) What the hell is this? I cannot be attracted to Pitamaha Bhishma and Mama Shakuni with their open hair and battle armour?! Adharm!

89) Oh what a cool sundial!

90) I’m glad they showed Uttar as nothing more than a teenager.

91) Mama Shakuni is so fit.

92) Do you think Bhishma recognises Arjun as Uttar’s chariot?

93) Poor Uttar is probably shitting his pants.

94) Arjun praying to Agni Dev to return his Gandiv. Old gods to the rescue.

95) This background score! It’s my absolute favourite! Parthasya Dhananjaya! My fav song on my fav, Arjun 😍

96) Bhishma looks thoroughly pleased. He recognises the sound of the Gandiv’s twang.

97) Now they will fight about the authenticity of the calendar. They should go to a calendar expert.

98) Bhishma looks proper chuffed at Arjun. How on earth will they fight against each other in the Great War?

99) Oh man, Karna is here. Ugh.

100) Karna is here to trash talk as per usual. Oh god both these men are useless. Fight no instead of talking so much.

101) Oh man, the charioteer’s son has been thrown from his chariot but not before taking a shot at Arjun.

102) Ah Karna’s divine armour makes an appearance!

103) Oh shit, this just got real! They’re calling on divine weapons!

104) Bhishma steps in. Of course.

105) Duryodhan’s hah! 😂😂

106) Arjun crying that if he is responsible for Bhishma’s death, it will be hell on earth for him. Oh, Arjun. You must still suffer, a lot.

107) Arjun’s threat, that all the Pandavas will come to avenge Draupadi’s insult. Yes. 100%. I hope in this yug even if men are not punished for their crimes against women on earth, they will suffer forever in hell for their misdeeds.

108) The Pandavas and Draupadi are ready. It’s time for the Great War. It’s time for Mahabharat.

Hidden fact from Mahabharata.

Arjun: Hey Keechak why did you go behind that servant woman when I am waiting for you.

Keechak: Oh Brihu aunty, how many times should I say 'not in public, we aren't exclusive!!!

Arjun: what????? 😱 *Under his breath (you deserve to die at the hands of Bhima)

5 things we never learned about Sudeshna (Mahabharata)

1. She is Virata’s only wife. She flatters herself this is because he loves her, but knows it is far more likely this is because her brother will not allow any rivals for his King’s attention.

2. As the only girl in a family of boys, she knows something of gouging eyes and scratching skin. It’s just—it’s not enough to hold off Keechak when he’s in one of his rages. Nothing ever is.

3. She swears her children will never mistrust each other as she and her siblings do; this is why she names them so similarly—so that they may always be reminded of their bond.

4. She always suspects there must be more to her new hairdresser than meets the eye. It’s just—it’s easier not to ask, for fear of finding answers she’d rather not hear. (She feels this way about most things in her life.)

5. Sudeshna is sorrier than she can ever say for what she did to the Queen of Indraprastha in ignorance—but the war at Kurukshetra asks a greater punishment for her sins than she ever could have expected.

||🔱🔱BOOK REVIEW🔱🔱|| . . 🔱 BOOK :- The battle of panchavati and other stories from indian scriptures AUTHOR :- @dnudnu1 GENRE :- Mythological stories FORMAT :- kindle e-book PUBLISHER :- @leadstartcorp Rating :- 5 stars. 🔱 . .

In the Hindu dharam from the beginning we have been hearing the story of Mahabharata, ramayana, by our elders to taught us the fruitful knowledge that could inspire us to be the good people in the society and to help each other when they needed.

The Author have accumulated all the story which gives us the chance to know more about our scriptures that’s provides us the immense knowledge with the real story which happened many many years ago.

Most of our epics and purana have a structure of frame tales (story within a story) and the author have taken some stories from it to tell us the story that gives us the moral lesson and to know more the story written in our scriptures, as the most of young ones may have forgotten or may have heard it in childhood.

As in my case I have heard and read many stories of ramayana, Mahabharata and many more story from scriptures and this book gave me again a chance to read the knowledgeable story that is the written in our holy scriptures.

There are seven story in this book 1. Cosmic dance :-The story of mahadev and sati viyog. 2. The eight son :- Krishna born story. 3. Battle of panchvati :- The place where lakshman cuts the surpnakha nose. 4. The killing of keechak :- The story of agayatvash from the Mahabharata. 5. Gangadhar :- Ganga avataran to earth in mahadev hair. 6. The curse of Draupadi :- A story from Mahabharata. 7. Gautam :- Story of Mahatama budh

The Author have done a very fine work to accumulate the story in one place and he have written the story in the same way the story is and there is no mix up in the story.

I really appreciate the effort of the author to save the scriptures as the story is vanishing day by day.

The language of the book is lucid and the collection of stories in the book will inspire the reader to delve further into the ocean of our epics and puranas that possess great knowledge. . . #thebattleofpanchavati #divyanarayanupadhya #bookreadandlike #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CEG0TJfgM3X/?igshid=1a7s1s4skhirn

Mahabharata discussion

This part of the story might be a little different in in other versions, but I’ve always been a little thrown by the story Draupadi tells Keechak to ward off his advances. Basically she says she is the wife of five mighty Gandharvas, who will kill him if he touches her. I mean, that’s totally not going to ring any bells, is it? A strikingly beautiful woman, who begins working as a maid just as the 13th year of the Pandavas’ exile begins, who has five powerful husbands... oh yeah, who also has a tangled mane of hair that looks like it hasn’t seen a brush in ten years. Is anyone else surprised that the Pandavas weren’t discovered earlier?
