Lakshmibai was named as Manikarnika during her childhood. Moropant Tampe and Bhagirathibai were Manu's parents. Manu's mother died when she was 4 years old. So her father moved to Bithur. She was called as chhabili by everyone. She married the king of Jhansi, GangatharRao at 15.
The sepoys of the Bengal Army started the Sepoy mutiny. The British wanted Lakshmibai to advise her soldiers to return to their camps. But she did not accept the appeal of British.
The army of Rose attacked her and pushed her back to Kalpi. Lakshmibai went to Gwalior and fought bravely. On the third day she was hit by a shot from an unknown soldier. Lakshmibai fell down. She asked her jewels to her soldiers and also asked them to look after little Gangadhar and soon she died.
