Rukmani / रुक्मिणी

• Rukmani was a daughter of Bhishmak, king of Vidarbh, and sister of Rukmi.
• Rukmani had fallen in love with Krishna, but her brother Rukmi was a friend of Kans, who had been killed by Krishna, and therefore opposed the marriage.
• Against Rukmini's will, he arranged for her to be married to Shishupal, king of Chedi.
• Rukmani panicked and sent a messenger to Krishna, and told him that she would be visiting the temple, early in the morning on the day of the marriage, before the wedding ceremonies took place.
• Krishna and Balram both came with an army and the former took her in his carriage and made on his way to Dwarka.
• Rukmi and Shishupal pursued the eloped couple, but were defeated by Krishna and Balram.
• Krishna then returned to Dwarka with Rukmani, where he married her.
• She was one of the principal eight wives and the mother of Pradyumn and nine other sons.
• They also had one daughter named Charumati.
• At Krishna's death she immolated herself on his funeral pyre.
