The Panchkanya - Ahalya, Draupadi, Kunti, Tara, and Mandodari - are some of the most iconic characters in Hindu shastra. Their stories have been told for generations and continue to inspire people worldwide.
The history of the Panchkanya dates back centuries, with their tales being recounted in various texts such as the Mahabharata and Ramayana. These five kanyas represent different aspects of femininity - strength, courage, loyalty, love, and wisdom - which makes them an important part of Indian culture. From Ahalya's redemption to Draupadi's resilience in times of adversity; Kunti's devotion to her sons to Tara's unconditional love for Vali; Mandodari's chastity to her husband Ravana - each one of these characters has a unique story and tells us the power of women.
