Solution
- When Alauddin Khilji captured Chittor, the Rajput women in the royal palace performed Jauhar, a self-immolation ritual.
- During Alauddin Khilji’s siege of Chittor in 1303 CE, the Rajput ruler Rana Ratan Singh and his soldiers fought bravely but were defeated.
- To avoid dishonor and capture, the women of Chittor, led by Rani Padmini, sacrificed their lives by entering a fire (Jauhar).
- This act symbolized courage, honor, and sacrifice in Rajput tradition.
