Rani Padmini, known for her exceptional beauty, was much more than just a pretty face. Her bravery during the siege of Chittorgarh is legendary.

Against the invading Sultan, Padmini chose to sacrifice her life in a ritual fire, jauhar, rather than be taken captive.

Next, we have Rani Rudrama Devi, who bravely fought against the odds to rule the Kakatiya kingdom.

Despite being a woman, she broke stereotypes and proved to be a just and successful ruler.

Rani Durgavati, a brave Gond queen, fiercely defended her kingdom against Mughal invasion.

Even when outnumbered, she led her troops with courage and met her end on the battlefield.

Rani Tarabai, the regent of Maratha empire, kept the flame of resistance against the Mughals alive.

For years, she led the Marathas, showing an unwavering spirit and brilliant military strategies.

Rani Velu Nachiyar, the first queen to wage a war against the British, was the embodiment of bravery.

She formed an army of women and fought the British, seeking justice for her husband's death.

Lastly, we have Rani Lakshmibai, the iconic queen of Jhansi, who resisted British rule with unwavering courage.

Her bravery in the Rebellion of 1857 has made her a legendary figure in Indian history.
