In this gripping episode, Jayadratha, the Sindhu king and brother-in-law of Duryodhana, encounters Draupadi alone in Kamyaka Vana during a hunting trip. Captivated by her beauty and blinded by arrogance, he dares to abduct her whilethe Pandavas were away.

But Draupadi’s cries do not go unheard. Bhima and Arjuna arrive in time, confront Jayadratha, and rescue her. As a mark of justice and disgrace, Bhima punishes him by shaving half of his head. This incident leads to Jayadratha acquiringa boon to defeat the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War.
