The Padmavat

Malik Muhammad Jayasi was a 16th-century Sufi poet from India who wrote the epic poem "The Padmavat".

"The Padmavat" was originally written in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi spoken in the Awadh region of India.

The central theme of "The Padmavat" is love and devotion, as exemplified by the relationship between the Rajput queen Padmini and her husband, Raja Ratan Sen.

Alauddin Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi, is the main antagonist in "The Padmavat". He is obsessed with Padmini's beauty and launches an invasion of Chittor to capture her.

Padmini and Ratan Sen reside in the fort of Chittor, which is located in present-day Rajasthan, India.

Padmini commits suicide by jumping into a fire to escape capture by Alauddin Khilji.

Ratan Sen dies in battle while fighting against Alauddin Khilji's forces.

The Jauhar ritual is a ritual of self-immolation performed by Rajput women to escape capture and dishonor in the face of defeat.

Gora Badal is the Rajput warrior who leads the defense of Chittor against Alauddin Khilji.

Padmini is the Rajput queen who is known for her beauty and devotion to her husband, Raja Ratan Sen.

The Akbarnama is the poem that was written in response to "The Padmavat" by Akbar's court poet, Abul Fazl.

"The Padmavat" was first published in 1540.

"The Padmavat" consists of 5 cantos.

Padmaavat is the name of the film that was released in 2018 based on "The Padmavat".

Deepika Padukone played the role of Padmini in the 2018 film "Padmaavat".
