HASTINAPUR

By late afternoon, most of the guests had arrived with only few of them left. At last, the chief guest of the function Maharaj Vrikamdev and his family arrived. Maharaj Dhritarashtra and Mahamahim Bheeshm hugged the king and recieved him. Rajmata Kunti and Maharani Gandhari welcomed Maharani Vathsala and Rajkumari Vrushali. Kunti and Vathsala were childhood friends, thus they mingled easily. Meanwhile Karn stood lost in his thoughts. He was looking at Rajkumari Vrushali.

She was a pretty, calm and silent girl by looks. She along with her mother greeted the elders of Kuru family with utmost respect and love. Karn fell in love with her instantly. He couldn't take his eyes off her lovely smile and decent behaviour. A soft smile formed on his lips as he kept gazing at her. Arjun noticed him and pretended smiling as if he didn't.

Vrushali approached the Pandavas to greet them.

"Pranipaat Rajkumar Karn," she voiced in a very sweet tone.

Karn was so into her smile that he couldn't hear her.

"Jyesht... What are you thinking? Greet Rajkumari," Arjun whispered in his ear.

Karn got back to reality and stumbled, "Pr--Pranipaat Rajkumari."

Arjun giggled looking at his unusual state.

She then turned to the other 5 and greeted them smilingly, they returned it back.

All of them went together inside the palace.

- After a while -

In no less time, the celebration began. There were colourful lightings all across the palace. Bright red carpets were laid along the pass ways. There was a melodious music of sitar playing in the background while fragrant flowers scented the whole palace. There was a charming buzz which filled the royal palace and brought the feeling of being in heaven.

"Kakishree Kunti!" Dusshala shouted from back.

Kunti turned back and exclaimed, "Dusshala!"

Dusshala walked briskly towards her and they both hugged.

Kunti asked her after breaking it, "When did you return from Kanyavas, putri?"

"I just came now kakishree, and I'm happy that they have arranged a welcoming party for me!" Dusshala tittered.

Kunti laughed and said, "Oh yes! We have arranged a grand party for our cute little putri!"

They both smiled Kunti took her inside. She met the others and took the blessings of them. The return of their one and only daughter added to the joy of the family.

- That evening -

Soon, the kuru family along with guests arrived at the Manoranjan Mahal where the main event was held. The main stage was decorated with amazing rose garlands hanging over the silk curtains at the sides. A group of dancers all set for performance were standing at the backstage waiting for the event to start. The musicians sat comfortably beside the main stage with their instruments.

The viewers sat at the audience gallery where the chairs were arranged in a concentric circular way. The first row was reserved for the kurus and their chief guests. All of them took their seats. Dhritarashtra, Vikramdev, Bheeshm and Vidur sat in the front of the stage; while the ladies sat in the left and the Pandava brothers sat in the right. The performance started.
