POLYGAMY MARRIAGE IN MAHABHARATA


The Marriage of Five Pandavas in Mahabharata is reminder of Polygamy. It was common among royalty  Draupadi's father, organized a Swayamvara (self-choice ceremony) for his daughter. 

The ceremony required suitors to string and shoot a magical bow, hitting the target (a fish) while looking at its reflection in a pool of water.  

Many princes and warriors attempted but failed. Arjuna, disguised as a Brahmin, arrived at the Swayamvara. 

He successfully strung the bow and hit the target, impressing Draupadi. Arjuna was declared the winner, and Draupadi chose him as her husband.  Arjuna returned home with Draupadi, saying, "Mother, I've brought something." Kunti, without seeing Draupadi, replied, "Share whatever you've got with your brothers." 

This unintentional statement led to Draupadi's marriage to all 5 Pandavas.  Draupadi agreed to Draupadi's marriage to all 5 Pandavas. The marriage ceremony was performed, with Draupadi marrying each Pandava brother individually.The Pandavas took turns spending time with Draupadi, with each brother having a specific day.

RAMACHARITRAMANAS A POEM BY TULSIDAS  The **Ramcharitmanas** is one of the most important and revered texts in Hinduism, written by the 16th-century saint-poet **Tulsidas**. It is a retelling of the ancient Indian epic **Ramayana**, which narrates the life, virtues, and adventures of **Lord Rama**, an incarnation of the god Vishnu.
