Humiliation of Draupadi - a mono-acting performance in Sanskrit

*The humiliation of Draupadi in the court of Hastinapura*, marks a definitive moment in the story of *Mahabharata*. 

Watch the complete scene enacted by just one young girl - *Kumari Monica* in *Sanskrit*. Monica plays the roles of *Yudhisthira, Shakuni, Duryodhana, Dusshasana, Draupadi & Lord Krishna*, in this scintillating mono-acting performance.ЁЯСПЁЯСП

The scene goes like this:

- The Kauravas not satisfied by the humiliation meted out to Pandavas, taunt Yudhishthira further into betting Draupadi.
- Yudhishthira puts Draupadi as a bet for the next round, which the Kauravas win.
- Duryodhana commands his younger brother Dushasana to forcefully bring her to the court from her chambers. 
- Dushasana drags her into the court by her hair. Drunk with power, Dushasana tries to strip Draupadi of her sari. 
- Seeing her husbands unable or unwilling to help her, Draupadi prays to Lord Krishna to protect her. 
- As Dushasana unwraps layers and layers of her sari, it keeps getting extended. 
- Finally, a tired Dushasana backs off without being able to remove her clothing.
