| Abstract: | Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions is a modern adaptation of an ancient story written from a woman's perspective. The Palace of Illusions (2008) is a retelling of the epic Mahabharata, either because of the author's writing style or simply from the point of view of a woman trapped in the middle of a man's world. Traversing the life of Panchaali, King Draupad's daughter and wife to five husbands seeking to reclaim her birthright, bestselling novelist Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni lends her voice to a bold and meaningful retelling of the stories of the Mahabharata. Revenge was the only emotion that drove Draupadi during her years of exile. Draupadi is indeed a powerful woman who holds an extraordinary place in history. Women are not really inferior to men, they are just "different" in a way that fits biblical teachings and gender roles. Thus, the female brain is said to be wired for empathy and sensitivity as of Draupadi. Divakaruni's plot features a woman of Indian descent torn between old and new world values. She uses her imagination and masterful narrative, plot, and lyrical expression to give readers a multi-layered look at her characters and their respective worlds, filled with fear, hope, and discovery. The Mistress of Spices reveals the importance of spices in human life found and cultivated only in the rich soil of India. Tilottama inherited this special trait from her mother. Tilottama is a woman in a small community runs a grocery store and uses her magical abilities to help customers through her creativity. She gives some turmeric tied in newspaper with some words of healing whispered in it and tries to cure the people physically as well as mentally. She uses fennel to treat Ahuja's wife when her life becomes miserable after marriage.Then the spice ginger is used to treat Geetha's grandfather.The special feature of this character Tilo is that she can communicate with the spice, which is very peculiar. Her novels and short stories portray educated, determined, mentally strong and stubborn female characters who are not afraid to break free from male chauvinism. Many scholars, critics, writers, newspapers and magazines recognized Divakaruni's female protagonist as the most interesting part of her work. In this article, the various issues faced by women and Divakaruni’s neurofeministic perspective as a post-colonial feminist writer is analysed. |
