REMEMBER HOLI : 456 years back, in Chittor, Jauhar to save from Timurid forces of Akbar
Incredible Ancient India - REMEMBER HOLI : 456 years ago, on the day of Holi, Chittor was coloured red of blood of brave Rajput women and men.
On the eve of Holi , brave Rajput women self immolated themselves in Jauhar to save their honour from Timurid forces of Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar.
The Jauhar of 1568 is a part of the regional legend and is locally remembered on the Hindu festival of Holi (on the day Chittor was sacked) as a day of Chittorgarh massacre by Akbar, with "the red colour signifying the blood that flowed that day".
