#RaniLakshmibai is one of the most courageous female rulers, India has ever had. Apart from the ferocious ruler, Rani Lakshmibai’s dressing style also stood out from the rest. The Queen, who had also to fight against the British along-with Gwalior troops, was dressed in a saree draped around in dhoti pattern. The cotton or muslin saree, which she wore, was draped in the typical Maharashtrian style known as ‘Nauvari saree’. This made her comfortable in battle movements from horse riding to fighting against her enemies. The Rani preferred minimal accessories such as a pair of gold earrings and a small bindi, which created an impact on her personality. (Image copyrights belong to their respective owners)
