Image Discussion

Hello @Redtigerxyz:,

You had updated the main image on this page here [1] because the face was not clearly visible in previous image. However, an anon user is now disputing it and reverting it back citing the Sita. Can we pls discuss this?

@Redtigerxyz:I am following up on this. Could you pls respond? Panchalidraupadi (talk) 05:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale remains the same - face is not clearly visible. Also, she is portrayal of Draupadi as the maid Sairandhri, which is not representative of her principal role as a queen or a goddess. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 11:02, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz:Thanks. I agree with you. Ravi Varma's pic portrays her as the Sairindhri which is not Draupadi's main role in Mahabharata. But the anon user has been trying to revert it for quite some time. Request you to put forth your views on this in the future if needed. Panchalidraupadi (talk) 16:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Wikipedia expert to update pages related to Pandavas and Draupadi

A user named NairaAdhya has changed lot of information regarding Pandavas marriage to Draupadi to her marriage with Arjuna only. I hope any expert will correct this information. Also she has changed the information of other pages related to Pandavas and Draupadi Sahilkadam11000 (talk) 06:56, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited content.

There is a lot of uncited content in the article, making the article appear vague. Riteze (talk) 17:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 3 of Draupadi#Game of dice and humiliation:

After her husbands fail to assist her, Draupadi prays to Krishna to protect her. Dushasana attempts to disrobe her, but she is miraculously protected by Krishna, and Dushasana finds that as he continues to unwrap the layers of her sari, the amount of fabric covering her never lessens. Dushasana is eventually reduced to exhaustion, as the awed court observes that Draupadi is still chastely dressed. At this point, a furious Bhima vows to drink blood from Dushasana's chest, at the pain of not seeing his ancestors/entering heaven. This vow unsettles the entire court.

Above mentioned content is disputed as well as not properly cited. Without proper citation, it will be removed for WP:RS. Riteze (talk) 14:13, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The newly added citation to above content is not working. Riteze (talk) 04:43, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
