It explores themes of fate versus free will, as Panchaali is aware of her destiny as written by Vyasa, but she still tries to influence her life. The story also examines the nature of vengeance, as Panchaali seeks revenge for the wrongs done to her. It highlights the challenges she faces as a woman in a patriarchal society, while also showcasing her inner strength and defiance. Throughout the story, Panchaali grapples with love, duty, and her own identity while witnessing the great war and the destruction that follows.
