The story
‘I am buoyant and expansive and uncontainable — but I always was so, only I never knew it.’ Panchaali as Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni writes her in ‘The Palace of Illusions’: the Mahabharata turned to face its own heroine, told in the voice of the woman the epic circles but rarely lets speak. She stands within a cusped arch in a red sari by Vaishali S, veiled in indigo, heavy with kundan at brow and throat — a fiery queen in a world of warriors, gods, and the ever-manipulating hands of fate. Above her the green ground rises in painted waves. Made to live between the pages that gave her the telling.
