Durgawati
Notes: Rani Durgawati ruled Garha Katanga for her son, Bir Narain. In 1564, she resisted Mughal forces led by Asaf Khan, choosing death over surrender. Bir Narain continued the fight but was captured and executed. Durgawati was skilled in archery and guerrilla warfare, and her legacy endures in folklore.
