On March 8, 1535, during the siege of Chittorgarh by the Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah, Rani Karnavati is said to have committed "jauhar" along with other women in the fort. This act of self-immolation was a tragic but common response during that period when facing the prospect of defeat and capture by invading forces.
Rani Karnavati's sacrifice is remembered as a symbol of bravery and the Rajput tradition of defending honor even in the face of adversity. The Chittorgarh Fort, where these events took place, stands as a testament to this historical episode.
