Maharana Pratap was born to King Udai Singh and Queen Jaywanta Bai on the 25th of May, 1540 in the Kumbhalgarh fortress of the Rajsamand district near Udaipur, Rajasthan. He had three younger brothers Shakti, Vikram and Jagmal Singh. He was married to Maharani Ajabde Punwar of Bijolia in 1557 and was blessed with a son named Amar Singh. Pratap was coronated  the king of Mewar in 1572 following crucial circumstances after the death of his father. His step-mother Dheerbai was adamant on making her son Jagmal the successor to the throne. However, situations worked in favor of Maharana Pratap who was unanimously selected the king due his just and efficient capabilities.

Unfavorable situations added to the Maharana’s dilemma as after his coronation, the Mughal king Akbar visited Mewar to chart out a route to Gujarat through the Maharana’s territory. Pratap instantly sensed Akbar’s bad intentions and flatly refused the emperor’s proposal, which led to the battle of Haldighati. Mughal forces outnumbered the Rajput army due to which the former emerged victorious in the battle. Despite losing the battle to the Mughals, Pratap was never captured by his foes and succeeded in escaping to the hills rendering the victory of his enemies fruitless.

The majestic ruler breathed his last on January 19, 1597 at Chavand, which served as his capital, after sustaining fatal injuries from an hunting expedition. Thus, Maharana Pratap Jayanti is the day to honor this brave warrior who believed in self-dignity and maintained the respect for his motherland.
