Abstract
In Ray's Yajnaseni, Draupadi—a controversial character in Indian mythology—is referred to as Krishnaa. Since the beginning of civilization, a patriarchal culture has existed in which men are regarded as superior to women and possess the authority to make consequential decisions. Women are expected to be unintelligent, quiet, and compliant. In matters of legal or "Dharma" significance, Krishnaa exemplifies boldness as an educated scholar who challenges authority figures. She is considered a fervent woman who played a significant role in the illustrious Kurukshetra conflict by marrying five men (the Pandavas). She is a princess, being the daughter of King Drupad, the sister of Drishtadyumna, the wife of renowned Bharata warriors, and the mother of five boys . She has endured insults and the anguish of separation multiple times, whether from her children or her cherished Arjun. The paper seeks to elucidate the challenges she encountered throughout her life and the resilience she had shown in the face of injustice.
