Falls of Bruar by Kyle Bonallo (ig: @kylebonallo)
I want everyone to read this
Created by Vishvakarnma in order to trick the Daitya leaders Sunda nad Upasunda to fight each other, the apsara Tilottama is hailed as one of the most alluring personalities within Mahabharata. She is said to have been a source of distraction for even Shiva and Sakra.
In my imagination, she is a free woman, whose independence is what truly attracts the men who are narratively linked with her.

Draupadi as a Feminist
Draupadi is not just a character in an epic. She is the embodiment of resistance in a world built to silence women. She speaks where others remain silent. She questions when others bow down.
Her marriage to five men was not an act of submission. It was a reflection of her will. In choosing her path, she challenged the belief that a woman's role is only to obey.
In the court where her dignity was gambled away, she did not beg for mercy. She demanded justice. She did not cry. She confronted. She did not collapse. She stood.
Draupadi challenged the very foundation of patriarchy. She asked what no one dared to ask. She forced power to look at itself. Her voice was not an echo. It was an eruption.
She did not wait to be saved. She saved herself with courage sharper than any weapon. Her strength was not divine. It was human. It was hers.
Draupadi is feminism before it was named. She is the fire that refuses to go out. She is every woman who questions, who resists, who rises.
