Hadi Rani a legendary character daughter of Hada Rajput married to Chundawat Chieften of Salumbar, Mewar who sacrificed herself to motivate her husband to go to the War.

When Maharana Raj Singh I (1653-1680) of Mewar called her husband to join the battle against Aurangzeb, the Sardar having married only a few days earlier hesitated about going into battle.

However Rajput honour being what it is, he had to join the battle. He asked his wife Hadi Rani for some memento to take with him to the battlefield.

Thinking that she was an obstacle to his doing his duty for Mewar, she ordered that her head be severed and presented to her husband. The Sardar shattered but nevertheless proud tied the memento around his neck by its hair. With no one to live for, he fought bravely until he was killed.
