In the Mahabharata, the men played the game of dice and waged wars, but it was the women, who yielded power and influence. So practically, both men and women played important roles building the story.
However, there are a few characters, who have made their places in people’s heart. Be it for their positive roles or negative nature and even weird styles for that matter, some of the characters inMahabharata have become special to people.
For Instance, everyone knows that the Pandavas won the war against the Kauravas. However, if it wasn’t for Krishna’s strategies, Pandavas could have lost the battle. Thus, people like Krishna, as the whole story of Mahabharata revolves around him

1. Krishna

If it wasn’t for Krishna’s strategies, Pandavas could have lost the battle. Thus, people like Krishna, as the whole story of Mahabharata revolves around him.

2. Draupadi

Draupadi was the strongest reason behind the epic war. It all started with the insult of womanhood in the game of dice by the Kauravas. She was beautiful, pretty, jealous, practical, hard worker and what not, but with a mission and courage to stand for truth.
She made it very clear that a society, which disrespects womanhood cannot stand for long. Hence, when we think about Mahabharata, Draupadi is one character, who can never be ignored.
