Chandramukhi or Dushasanpriya was a senior and chief queen of Dushasana in the epic Mahabharata. She is originally unnamed - in the epic but later added in the other versions. She had two cousins - Bhanumati (Kalinga Princess) and the other one was Mayuri (Trilokapura Princess). Bhanumati, a companion or so called sister of Mayuri used to be with her as a friend. Chandramukhi, a cousin sister of the two princesses were very happy with each other. She had two sons -Drumasena and Bharata. She was one of the fairest complex of beauty ever had Dushasana had seen her. He took her with the help of Duryodhana in the earlier folktales.

Chandramukhi's marriage in the Shanti Parva describes Dushasana abducted the daughter of Ashwinraja, who was the fairest of the other princesses. Mayuri, the beloved wife of Duryodhana, later gets her married to Dushasana. Gandhari describes her with hail and calmness. Krishna, thought if Dushasana had died, his five wives will get robbed. Chandramukhi, even though the queen of Dushasana, resulted in the death of her husband and weeping, her two cousins consoled her.
