The artists of Saghan Society of Art and Welfare are all set to woo the Bhopal theatre lovers.
The artists are rehearsing for the play. The play will be presented on the official YouTube channel of Saghan Society..The play is based on the legendary story about Rani Laxmi Bai. The play was directed by Anand Mishr.
The play focused on how, after losing Gangadhar Rao, Laxmi Bai took up the responsibility of her kingdom Jhansi and became the Queen of the kingdom. The play wondrously showcases how the queen struggled for the victory and freedom of her country. When she fearlessly fought against the British.
Laxmi Bai was married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Gangadhar Rao Newalkar, in May 1842 and was afterwards called Lakshmibai (or Laxmibai) in honour of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi and according to the Maharashtrian tradition of women being given a new name after marriage. In September 1851, she gave birth to a boy, later named Damodar Rao, who died four months after birth. The Maharaja adopted a child called Anand Rao, the son of Gangadhar Rao's cousin, who was renamed Damodar Rao, on the day before the Maharaja died. The adoption was in the presence of the British political officer who was given a letter from the Maharaja instructing that the child be treated with respect and that the government of Jhansi should be given to his widow for her lifetime.
