Padmini

Hers was a face that made powerful monarchs lose their wits. Having seen Padmini’s reflection in a mirror, Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji wanted her more than anything else in the world. But she was already the queen of brave Ratnasen, ruler of Chittor. In an unfolding drama of lust and treachery, Ratnasen’s band of Rajput warriors displayed the outstanding courage for which they were rightly famous. And Padmini showed the world what love and honour mean to a woman.
