Renowned Rajput Warrior & Mewar King Maharana Pratap

Maharana Pratap was crowned King of the Mewar in a time when the Mughal ruler, Akbar, attempted to conquer the Mewar territory.

He was chosen to ascend the throne after his father, Udai Singh II, passed away in 1572. This enraged his older brother, Jagmal, who then joined Akbar’s army.

Maharana Pratap, is often referred to as The First Freedom Fighter of India, because he never gave in to Akbar’s rule. Many battles between the Mewar and the Mughals, including the well known Battle of Haldighati, ensued until 1582.

Maharana Pratap was able to reclaim many of the Mewar territories, including Udaipur, Gogunda, and Kumbhalgarh. This occurred during the time when rebellions against Akbar broke out in the north-west.

Maharana Pratap died in 1597 from the injuries he sustained in battle against the Mughal Empire.
