About the talk:
Popular belief has it that to recite the names of the five virgins—'panchakanyas'—would destroy the worst of human sins. But matters of faith aside, who the kanyas (women) are is in itself a fascinating question, and their personal tales even more remarkable.
It is acknowledged that the 'kanyas' include Ahalya, Draupadi, Tara, and Mandodari. But the fifth name varies. Some state that it is Tara, wife of Brihaspati (in addition to the other Tara, consort of Vali); others hold it to be Kunti, mother of the Pandavas; and yet others venerate Sita as the fifth kanya.
These are considered as the most powerful women from our Itihasa.
