Draupadi has a polyandrous marriage with all five Pandawa brothers. In a pivotal moment, she is lost by the Pandawas in a fateful game of dice. She remains defiant against her captors, the Korawas, and is eventually reunited with her five husbands. Draupadi is a powerful figure within the South Asian tradition and her Indonesian popularity surged under more folkloric mediums such as the Balinese lamak.
