Sindoor and mahabharat: Mahabharata is an epic of Indian culture that says the saga of religion, justice, and vengeance. There are many such poignant and powerful episodes in this story that still shake our hearts. One such incident is Draupadi’s ripling, which not only insulted the Pandavas but also provoked a flame that thrown the entire Aryavarta into the fire of war. The pledge that Draupadi took after this insult was a symbol of his strong will and his unwavering faith in justice.
Insult to Draupadi: When Draupadi was put at stake in Kurusabha and at the behest of Duryodhana, Dushasan made a disgusting attempt to defeat his clothes, all the boundaries of justice and dignity were crossed. In that helpless state, Draupadi prayed to Lord Krishna to save her shame and by his grace his rip continued. But the fire of that insult was blazing in Draupadi’s heart.
Why Draupadi was about to wipe the vermilion of her forehead: In that hour of insult, Draupadi opened her hairstyle. Open hair is considered a symbol of insults and mourning for a woman. Draupadi took a pledge in a full gathering that she would not tie her hairstyle until she takes a revenge for her insults until she ripped her hands in front of her husbands. Not only this, the suffering of that insult was so deep that Draupadi also wipes the vermilion of her forehead, but on the occasion, Gandhari and Kunti hold her hand and say that do not do so, Draupadi, otherwise this whole Kuruvansh will end. Sindoor, who symbolizes the honeymoon of a married woman, had become a memory of sorrow and insult from that day for Draupadi.
Result of Draupadi’s pledge: This promise of Draupadi was both a challenge and inspiration for the Pandavas. He took a strong resolve to avenge that insult. For years, that insult remained fresh in his memory and eventually the war of Mahabharata erupted. One of the main reasons for this war was the injustice done to Draupadi.
In the war of Mahabharata, the Pandavas defeated the Kauravas. Bhima ripped the chest of Dushasan with his mace and broke his arms. Draupadi was waiting for that moment to fulfill her pledge. Whenever Bhima killed Dushasan, Draupadi washed her open hair with her blood. This scene was not only terrible, but also a symbol of the rage of vengeance of Draupadi.
After washing her hairstyle with the blood of Dushasan, Draupadi tied her hair and again decorated the red vermilion in her demand. This vermilion was no longer of his honeymoon, but also the fulfillment of the rigorous resolution taken by him. It was a symbol of victory over the insult he endured in Kurusabha.
