Jodhabai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jodhabai was an Asian royal from India.

It is a common belief that Jodhabai was the main wife of Akbar and the mother of Jahangir. However the literary sources clearly mention that the wife of Akbar named Mariam-uz-Zamani was Jahangir's mother. Mariam-uz-Zamani married Akbar on February 6, 1562.

One of Akbar's minor wives was Jodhi Bibi, daughter of Rao Mal Deo of Jodhpur from a concubine Tipu Paswan. She married Akbar in 1581.

There was another Jodhabai, wife of Jahangir, who was the daughter of Raja Udai Singh of Jodhpur.
