Summary

Description
English: Album of popular prints mounted on cloth pages. Colour lithograph, lettered, inscribed and numbered 18. Draupadi, the wife of all five Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata, is presented to a pachisi game where Yudhishthira, the king of Hastinapura, had gambled away all his material wealth. He offered his wife in a bet; Draupadi prays to Krishna for protection while a court attendant attempts to remove her sari. This event was one of several instigating factors in the Mahabharata war.
