The number of women heroines is not small in the history of India. But only Rani Durgavati is one of them who is remembered as a skilled ruler of Gondwana (Gondwana) with her sacrifice and valour. On June 24, the country celebrates their Sacrifice Day, when they did not accept defeat before the Mughals and sacrificed themselves in the face of the Mughal army till the last minute.

Rani Durgavati's husband Dalpat Shah had authority over Garhmandla out of 4 states of Gond descendants living in Gondwana region of Madhya Pradesh, Garhmandla, Deogarh, Chanda and Kherla. Unfortunately, King Dalpat Shah passed away 4 years after his marriage to Rani Durgavati. Durgavati's son Narayan was 3 years old at the time of her husband's death, so Rani herself had to take over the rule of Garhmandla, the present Jabalpur was the centre of her kingdom. The Queen ruled the region for 16 years and created her own image of a skilled administrator. But there were more discussions of her valour and bravery. It is said that once they had the news of a lion appearing somewhere, they would immediately pick up their weapons and walk towards it, and they didn't even drink water until they killed it. Rani Durgavati was also extremely beautiful. When Khwaja Abdul Majid Khan, subedar of Manikpur, provoked Akbar against Rani Durgavati. Akbar wanted durgavati, like the widows of other Rajput houses, to grace the residence. Akbar is said to have sent him a gold cage saying that queens should be confined inside the palace, but Durgavati replied that Akbar woke up tilmila.

Rani Durgavati had fought hard against the Mughal rulers and defeated them several times and each time she refused to succumb to oppression and chose the land of struggle for freedom and asmita. By the time the Mughal army again attacked on June 24, 1564, after two attacks, the Queen's military strength had diminished. The queen sent her son Narayan to a safe place. During the war, the first arrow hit his arm, the queen fired him. The second arrow hit his eye, the queen pulled it out too, but his tip remained in the eye. The third arrow then entered his neck. Knowing that her end was near, rani requested Wazir Aadhar Singh to cut his neck with his sword, but he refused. So the queen, with her dagger in her chest, climbed on to the path of self-sacrifice.
