Jhalkari Bai was married to a young man named Puran Koli, a soldier in the Jhansi army. The entire villagers gave full support in the marriage of Jhalkari Bai. After her marriage, she moved with Puran to Jhansi, she was the commander of the Durga Dal, the women's wing of the regular army of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. She was also the face of Lakshmibai, so she used to fight in disguise as a queen to cheat the enemy.
