In those times, it wasn’t very common for women to become warriors in the king’s army, but Durgavati’s( (Durgavati was born in the Banda district of Uttar Pradesh on 5 October 1524. Her father, Keerat Rai, was a descendant of the Chandella rulers in North India. The family of rulers had built temples in Khajuraho and were strong warriors who triumphed many invasions, including that of the Mahmud of Ghazni.) ) training seemed to indicate that she was preparing for just that. In fact, one of her favourite hobbies was trophy hunting—a recreational activity reserved for royal warriors.
In 1542, at the age of 18, Durgavati was married off to Dalpat Shah of the Gond dynasty—he was the eldest son of King Sangram Shah and the ruler of Garha Mandal. In those days, a marriage between the Gond and Chandella rulers was not a common phenomenon, but this union was more of a political alliance and was considered to be quite normal.
With Durgavati’s marriage to Dalpat Shah, the Chandellas now had the Gond army supporting them against Muslim invader, Sher Shah Suri who attacked Durgavati’s maternal kingdom. The joint forces successfully resisted the attack, but for Durgavati, that wasn’t the last battle she would fight against the Mughals.
“Better to die with dignity than live without self-respect. I have served my motherland for a long time, and at a time like this, I won’t let it be stained. There is no option but to fight.”
