Very soon, Drupad started all the preparations for her Swayamvar. The goldsmith was ordered to make invitation cards for the kings and princes . "The card should be as beautiful as Panchal, it should be written by the one who's having the most beautiful writing in Aryavrata."
Caligraphists were called, Goldsmiths started making the cards. The palace was cleaned and renuvated. Everyone was very happy for the Swayamvar of their princess.

"Rajkumari, the preparations of your Swayamvar have been started. And Maharaj and Maharani have ordered for ur presence in his chamber Rajkumari."
"Ohk dasi, but what's the reason?"
"I'm sorry Rajkumari but I don't know."
Draupadi stood and started moving towards the hall. In her way...she saw her renuvating palace. The walls were painted with mesmerising arts of Panchal. Huge chandeliers were hanged throughout the palace. The corridor was full of sweet scents and the doors were decorated with colourful flowers. All the dasa and Dasis were busy for her Swayamvar. Some were carrying baskets full of flowers. Some were painting the walls. Some were weaving beautiful curtains and carpets. The whole palace was busy.

She walked down the stairs towards Maharaj's chamber. Whoever she saw was busy in her swayamvar's preparation. She reached the chamber, and asked the Dwarpal to open it.
"Ji Rajkumari. You r welcome."
She entered the room and saw her father was sitting in his chair. Her mother was sitting on the bed...with two Dasis with her. The Dasis were exhibiting huge jewelries to the Maharani and beautiful dresses.
"Pitashri u called me."
"Yes yes putri come sit with me." Maharani asked her to sit beside her.
Draupadi went to her and sit beside her. Maharani Kokila moved her hands towards Draupadi's long hair. And started caressing her beautiful curly locks.
Draupadi put her head on her lap. And asked. "Maa would u be happy, if I'll go?"

"Yes I'll be happy putri. If u would go with the best...who would love u as Ur father and I do.....
Now get ready putri u have to go for Gauri Pooja." Maharani said.
"What is that maa?"
"It's a prayer that every 'to be bride' has to do....she prays Goddess Gauri for a husband like her's....Mahadev."
"Oh..."
"Get ready fast putri these Dasis along with Sikhandini are going to accompany u."
"Ji maa."
Draupadi stood and left the chamber and moved towards her chamber she was given a heavy yellow lehenga with golden jewelleries.

"U r looking divine putri." Maharani said as Draupadi came out from her chamber wearing the dress she was given. Her dress was embroidered with golden thread. She was looking like a goddess. Her hair was braided....and diamonds were pinned on her hairs. Her eyes were shining like glitter. She was smelling like a blue lotus. Her smile was an add on to her beauty which was enough to make a flower blossom.
"Dhanyavad maa." Draupadi said and touched the feet of her mother.
Maharani hold her and hugged her tightly....and took some kajal from her eyes and applied it under the ear of Draupadi.
"U have got a precious gift...Ur beauty my daughter. Take care of it."
"She doesn't need to take care of it Maharani. She is Nitayuvani*. Don't u remember Maharani?.
"Oh yes yes Vasudev." Maharani said while patting her head..
"Now putri u leave ...or else the muharat will pass. The priests must be waiting for u."

*****
They reached near the Gauri temple. Draupadi came sitting on palanquin. She hated to be inside a palanquin for long hours.
The Sainiks who were carrying the palanquin put her palanquin gently on the ground and opened the curtains. Draupadi put her leg outside and stood. Two of her Sainiks came in front of her and Dasis beside her. Sikhandini already went inside the temple to check all the arrangements.
From the temple a young man with long beard and long hair with a sacred thread on his body wearing clothes like a brahman came. His hairs were tied into a bun. And he was holding a bow came. He was going but the Sainiks stopped him.

"Oh brahman Dev! Can't u see. The princess of Panchal is here. Bow before her." Sainiks said him arrogantly.

Arjuna looked around himself and said "where is the princess, I'm not able to see her."
"She is there u fool Brahman."
Draupadi was behind the palanquin looking around the temple...she was enjoying the beauty of nature. But when she heard some noices she came forward.

"Pranipat Rajkumari!" Arjuna bowed.
Arjuna was again mesmerised by her Beauty and was continuously staring her.
Draupadi greeted him, "Pranipat Brahman Dev!"
Then suddenly Sikhandini shouted, "Panchali, where are u? Muharat would pass away. Hurry up."

"

Ayi jiji."

Draupadi looked at the temple and said to Arjuna, " Sorry for the arrogant behaviour of my Sainiks.....nice to meet u."

"Its fine Rajkumari."Arjuna replied.

Draupadi smiled and went inside the temple.

Arjuna used to teach Archery to some children of Panchal near the Gauri temple.

All the rituals started. Scandal paste was applied to Draupadi along with a bit of Haldi and kumkum on her forehead. Then she prayed to the goddess and moved around the garbhagriha. The priests tied a holy thread on her wrist and asked her no the remove it till her marriage.
Then she accepted the Prasad and asked for leave. The Pooja finished and Draupadi along with Sikhandini and her Dasis stood and went towards their palanquins. Outside the temple she again saw the Brahman teaching small children Archery. She went towards him.....

How's the chapter guys.
*Nitayuvani means one who never age. One who never gets old. Draupadi was also called Nitayuvani, her beauty was immortal. The proofs are- during Agyatvas when Draupadi would be around 50 years... Maharani Sudheshna was mesmerised by her Beauty and was reluctant to give her a job and she thought that her husband and her brother may fall for her.* I will add the proper shlokas or translation when the part will come.

How's the new cover guys.
