Panch Prabha, based on the mythological Panchkanyas—Ahalya, Mandodari, Tara, Kunti and Draupadi—is a powerful poetic work based on their extraordinary lives. The sacrifices, indomitable courage, self-respect and will to live of these great women, worshipped in the Sanatan tradition, have been given poetic form in this work. The author, a prolific and impartial writer, has presented the ancient mythological narratives in the light of contemporary social order, feminism and patriarchal challenges, placing them in a modern context.
