Gandhari
Hindu · mortal · epic period · mortal
The detail she is best known for — that she bound her own eyes for life on marrying a blind man, so as not to have what her husband lacked — is not written into the lifecycle here, because the treatments consulted state the marriage, the hundred sons and the intervention and do not state the blindfold. It is a famous fact and this record still does not assert it without a citation in hand. That restraint is the programme's, and it is worth being visible on a figure this well known.
