Popular print, album (BM 2003,1022,0.18).jpg

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 parcheesi 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.
