Samay Yatri: A Tale Of 3 Time Travellers

The Day Of The Swayamvar

The sun rises gently over the palace of Panchal, casting a warm glow through the windows of Aatmaja Mahal.
The palace of the princesses was already bustling with servants,
Who was trying to get everything ready on time, as today was the day when the beloved princesses of Panchal and Vijayanagar would select their husbands. Amidst the Chaos that was spread throughout the palace,
The brides-to-be were sitting silently in their common room.

The serenity of their Chambers was disturbed as Sitara made her way to them, the second prahar of the day had just begun yet, Sitara was already in motion orchestrating a Symphony of preparations for the momentous swayamvar. Her hands moved with practised precision, ensuring that the wedding attire was perfectly prepared and laying out every piece by her hand.

She glanced at her sisters who sat silently letting the maids do their work and her heart swelled with a mix of pride and worry as she oversaw a thousand tasks with the care of a mother. Sitara felt a deep sense of responsibility and love for her younger sisters, having cared for them in the absence of their mothers.
Tears sprung up in her eyes as she ordered the maids," Dasiyon Tum sab ja sakti ho, Apni bahanon ka Shringar Ham Khud Karenge!"

The maids joined hands in respect and left the Chambers, Priya had been given the responsibility of making sure that everything was in order along with Krishna but she had ditched him and
Chose to spend a few moments before her sisters got married.
Priya picked up a comb and started doing Draupadi's hair, Sitara did the same for Meera.

Priya, with delicate hands and a heartful of love, started carefully adorning Draupadi in her breathtaking red saree. The rich fabric draping elegantly around draupadi accentuates her dark beauty. Each piece of gold jewellery sparkled in the gentle sunlight
Enhancing her Regal appearance.
Priya skillfully weaved Draupadi's hair into a stunning braid, adorned with
Vibrant Blue Lotus flowers, add a touch of ethereal beauty to her look,
It was a sight to behold, a perfect blend of tradition and elegance.

Meera's outfit is a Masterpiece of craftsmanship, the delicate Kanjivaram silk ivory and baby blue saree, embroidered with gold each intricately designed pattern telling a story of tradition and heritage. The diamonds and Emeralds that she was adorned
Shimmer on her body like stars in the night sky, each gem symbolising the blessing of prosperity and eternal love.
She glowed with happiness,
As colour naturally Rose to her cheeks in the form of her blushing,
Her eyes glowed with happiness adding a divine look to her mesmerizing gaze.
Meera truly looked like a goddess a vision of ethereal beauty that had descended from the heavens.

After getting the brides-to-be ready,
Sitara leaves the Chamber unable to control her tears due to the overwhelming amount of emotions that she is facing at that moment.

Meera and Draupadi exchange soft smiles, the unspoken bond of sisterhood
And shared destiny speaks volumes.
Meera's eyes convey a blend of apprehension and determination while Draupadi's eyes Shine with hope and vulnerability. Without uttering a word they understand each other's emotions,
They feel the weight of the day resting on their Shoulders.

Meera silently reaches out to fix Draupadi's veil, a silent gesture of support and reassurance. Draupadi's eyes meet Meera's, conveying gratitude and sisterly love. The air is filled with a sense of unity and understanding that transcends words.

The sound of distant music signals the arrival of the guests as they are being welcomed. Both of them Don't React but just sit there and reminisce all the moments they shared.
Draupadi gently takes Meera's hand and says," Mujhe Tumhen chhodkar Kisi Aur Rajya Nahin Jana jiji, Kash Ham donon ka Vivah ek hi vyakti se ho jaaye!

" yah sab Kuchh Hamare Hath Mein Nahin Hai Draupadi, ab Jaisi Narayan ki ichcha! Yadi Hamare prarabdh Mein sadaiv extra Rahana hi likha hoga to Aaj Hamara Vivah ek hi vyakti se ho jaega!"
Draupadi closes her eyes in prayers and wishes to never be separated from her sister.

In the stadium,

A certain mormukutdhari hears this wish and says, "Tathasthu! Tum donon sadaiv rahogi, draupadi meera ka sambal hogi aur meera draupadi ki dhaal" he completes his statement and smiles mysteriously...
