Lakshmibai

Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (19 November 1828 18 June 1858), born as Manikarnika and
renamed Lakshmibai in 1842 after her marriage, was the queen of the Maratha-ruled Jhansi State,
situated in the north-central part of India. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of
1857 and became for Indian nationalists a symbol of resistance to the British Raj. Lakshmibai was born
probably on 19 November 1828 in the holy town of Varanasi into
a Marathi family. She was named Manikarnika and was nicknamed
Manu.[9] Her father was Moropant Tambe and her mother Bhagirathi
Sapre (Bhagirathi Bai). Her parents came from Maharashtra. Her
mother died when she was four. Her father worked for a
court Peshwa of Bithoor districtwho brought Manikarnika up like his
own daughter. The Peshwa called her "Chhabili", which means
"playful".
