Okay, my next question
Why do serials - including this one - not show the marriages of Krishna to Bhadra, Kalindi, Mitravindya, Satya and Lakshmanaa?
Granted, the only account of their marriages occurs in their conversations w/ Draupadi, while Jambavati's and Satyabhama's marriages are described in more detail in separate chapters. But those 5 queens had more significance than Krishna's next 16,100 wives from Narakasura
The Narakasura story itself is a popular one so it's shown for his death, more than the importance of his marriage to the 16,100 wives. It would be nice to see the other queens too, but this serial doesn't even show Satyabhama and Jambavathi after a while. They just fade into the backdrop and it's just Rukmini during the latter part of the show.
It would be nice to have a show solely based on the Ashtabharya. There is some nice material available on them for anyone who's interested in directing it, and people have written some good novels on them too, even if direct source material isn't available. I'd like to see a show on Krishna's home life that doesn't focus on MB or the Pandavas.
