However, not all know the stories and mythological tales behind it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">In actuality, Lord Krishna had 16,108 wives. Out of these, there are eight principal queens, known as the Ashtabharya. Ashtabharya is a term in Sanskrit made of two words: Ashta, meaning eight and Bharya, meaning wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/why-does-lord-krishna-wear-a-peacock-feather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Does Lord Krishna Wear a Peacock Feather?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>1. Rukmini<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Goddess Rukmini is the first wife of Lord Krishna and his chief consort. She is also an incarnation of Goddess Laxmi. Their tale teaches one love and bravery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goddess Rukmini fell in love with Lord Krishna after listening to his tales, and her father supported this decision. However, her brother wanted her to marry Shishupala.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Rukmini wrote a letter to Shri Krishna, elaborating on her love and his glory and importance in her life. Krishna, upon receiving the letter, travelled to Vidarbh. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">He abducted Rukmini from the forced marriage. He travelled to Dwarka with her and married her there, making her the 1st Lord Krishna wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>2. Jambavati\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Jambavati is the daughter of the bear-king Jambavan. Jambavati&#8217;s hand was offered to Krishna by her father for marriage. Her story as Lord Krishna wife teaches one victory and courage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jambavati\u2019s marriage to Krishna happened because of a jewel, the Syamantaka. The Sun God gave this jewel to Satrajit. When he reached Dwarka, he met Krishna, who asked him to gift the stone to Ugrasen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">However, Satrajit refused and presented it to his brother. His brother wore the jewel often. But he was later killed by a lion while hunting. After a turn of events, the stone reached Jambavan, the bear king.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">But as Satrajit\u2019s brother did not return, he accused Krishna of killing him so that he could take the stone. Krisna, hurt by the wrongful accusations, went out to find him and reached Jambavan\u2019s cave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">He alone went into the cave and fought Jambavan for more than 20 days. After the battle, Jambavan realised that he had been fighting Lord Vishnu. He realised his mistake and offered the hand of his daughter, Jambavati, to Krishna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>3. Satyabhama<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Goddess Satyabhama is the incarnation of Bhumidevi. She is the only Shri Krishna wife who accompanied him when he battled Narakasura and is an epitome of strength &amp; courage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satyabhama was Satrajit\u2019s daughter. After Krishna returned with the stone, Satrajit felt guilty of accusing him of murder.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">As an apology, he offered Krishna the hand of his daughter Satyabhama and also the stone. However, Krishna refused to take the stone, but accepted the proposal of Satyabhama\u2019s marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>4. Kalindi<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Kalindi is the incarnation of Yamuna and is the daughter of the Sun God. She is the 4th Lord Krishna wife and is known to represent purity and devotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kalindi was a devotee of Lord Vishnu and performed severe penance to marry him. Arjuna saw her on the banks of Yanuma.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Arjuna conveyed her message of marrying Vishnu to Krisha. Upon hearing her wish, Krishna agreed to marry her as he was Vishnu\u2019s avatar, therefore fulfilling her wish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>5. Nagnajiti (Satya)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Satya is the daughter of King Nagnajita of Kosala. Her father had a condition for her marriage that could only be fulfilled by Krishna. Their tale teaches one about proving one\u2019s worth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her marriage to Krishna was a simple one, but for this, Krishna had to prove his worth. Satya\u2019s father set us a Swyamvar for her and put a condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was that whoever could tame seven ferocious and wild bulls would marry his daughter. No one apart from Krishna was able to do so, and thus, they got married. <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>6. Mitravinda<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Mitravinda is also referred to as Krishna\u2019s sister, as she was the daughter of King Jayasena of Avanti, who married Rajadhidevi, the sister of Krishna\u2019s father. She represents love and willpower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> She wanted to marry Krishna, but was faced with her brother\u2019s refusal. Her father organised a Swayamvar in which Krishna also participated.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">As she wanted to become Lord krishna wife, she chose Krishna as her husband. Her brothers joined forces with the Kauravas to oppose this, but were later defeated by Krishna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>7. Lakshmana<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Lakshama married Krishna after he won the Swayamvara, held by her father, King Brihatsena. She is considered the embodiment of beauty and grace, as Lord krishna wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are two tales of Lakshmana\u2019s marriage to Krishna. One describes that krishna abducted her from the Swayamvara that her father organised and then married her.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">However, another states that Krisha won her hand. He precisely aimed and shot an arrow at a fish\u2019s eye, satisfying the conditions of the organised Swayamvar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>8.

Their tale is one of ease and showcases her representation of obedience, love, and devotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Tale of Their Marriage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are primarily two tales relating to Bhadra\u2019s marriage with Krishna. In the first, she is said to marry Krisha with the approval and wishes of her brother and parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">The other tale suggests that she married Krishna of her own will.

Now, let us look at the tale of Krishna\u2019s marriage to 16100 women. This is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>1. Narakasura &amp; The Kidnappings<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Narkasura was the demon son of Devi Bhumi and Varaha (Vishnu\u2019s avatar). He sought to conquer all three worlds. He wreaked havoc on all. On Earth, he captures 16100 women. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">In some texts, these women are known to be princesses and daughters of the Gods. However, some texts refer to them as Apsaras. He kept these women imprisoned at Audaka. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Audaka was a mountain in his kingdom, which was surrounded by various demons. He did this so no one dared to enter or even come close to the princesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>2.

Lord Krishna agreed and went to fight Narakasura. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">He defeated all the demons and freed all the captured women, and asked them to return to their homes. However, the women pleaded with Krishna to marry them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">They said no one would accept them and their honour would be compromised. Thus, Krishna agreed to their pleas and married all 16100 women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Frequently Asked Questions FAQs<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><div class=\"custom-faq\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><div class=\"faq-item\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"faq-question\"><h4 class=\"faq-question-heading\" itemprop=\"name\">1.
