Women in Mahabharata - Vishakha

Another gopi from Roop Goswami's VidagdhaMadhava, she is the second-in-command in Radha's posse, and she is often seen passing messages between Radha and Krishna.

Women in Mahabharata - Lalita

Another gopi from Roop Goswami's repertoire, she is perhaps the most famous among Radha's closest sakhis. She also appears in some of the other puranas that mentions Radha and Krishna.

In popular tradition, she puts up with Radha's mood swings, helps her meet Krishna in secret and is also known for her hot temper.

Women in Mahabharata - Suneeta

She is a daughter of Mrityu (or Yama in some versions). She is married to Anga, the founder-ruler of the kingdom of Anga.

Her son Vena is the earliest-known dictator, who, owing to his cruelty, is assassinated by Brahmanas, who install his (sort-of) son, Prithu, at the helm on the dictator's kingdom, after a brief election involving most parts of the hierarchical society (also the first instance of such an 'election' noted in this arm of mythology).

Women in Mahabharata - Chandravali

She is noted as a rival of Radha's and is classified as a 'dakshina' nayika- which implies that she usually puts up with Krishna's games as opposed to Radha, who usually sways between love and mock-anger for him. She is a creation of Roop Gosvami in his play Vidagdha-Madhava, and is a common player in Bengali folklore relating to Krishna.

Women in Mahabharata - Vrinda

She is the presiding deity of the forests of Vrindavana.

In folklore, she appears a dear friend and confidante of both Radha and Krishna. She helps them evade Radha's family and meet in secret.

Sometimes, she is aligned with Tulasi, and hence also associated with the asura Shankhachooda (as per Devi Bhagavatam, but her story is placed after Krishna's time).

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #621 )✅️

Today was unlike any other.

We received a few donations and with them, we had our first real meal in over a month. For the first time in so long, we didn’t go to sleep hungry. We cried, not from pain this time, but from overwhelming joy and gratitude.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply kept us in their thoughts thank you. You didn’t just feed us. You reminded us that we’re not alone. You gave us back a piece of our dignity and hope.

But the struggle isn’t over. We’re still in need of food, support, and a little more light in these hard times.

Please, if you can, continue to help. Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness makes a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And please, stay with us on this journey.

Women in Mahabharata - Akshamala

Though not directly mentioned in Mahabharata, her name appears in Manu Smriti as a wife of the rishi Vashishtha. She is mentioned separately specifically due to her being a member of the Shudra caste.

It is really sad that she needed this marriage to become 'respectable' in the eyes of the society as per the text.
