Explanation:
Rani Durgavati (5 October 1524 – 24 June 1564) was the ruling Queen of Gondwana from 1550 until 1564. She was born in the family of Chandel Rajput king Salibahan at the fort of Mahoba. She was married to Dalpat Shah Kacchwaha, the adopted son of the king Sangram Shah of the Garha Kingdom. Rani Durgavati's achievements further enhanced the glory of her ancestral tradition of courage and patronage.
She decided to fight a defensive battle, retreating to the Narrai valley where the river Gaur flowed on one side and the Narmada on the other. Although the forces were in no ways equal, owing to Akbar’s might, Durgavati seized the first day of the battle and proved victorious.
Unfortunately, Akbar’s army had come with more force than the previous day. Durgavati was pierced with two arrows—one on her ear, the other on her neck. She could see that defeat was inevitable.
She asked her minister, Adhar Singh to kill her with his sword. But when the loyal soldier refused so, Durgavati plunged a knife into her stomach and committed suicide.
