I found one place called as Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj talav which is also called as Kambar talav located at Solapur.
Here I found a statue of Rani Laxmibai.
Rani Lakshmibai, the Queen of Jhansi, is remembered as one of the greatest women warriors in Indian history.
She was born on 19 November 1828 in Varanasi, and her childhood name was Manikarnika, lovingly called Manu. From an early age, she showed courage and leadership. She was trained in horse riding, sword fighting, and archery, which later helped her in her struggle
In 1842, Manu was married to Maharaja Gangadhar Rao, the ruler of Jhansi, and after marriage she was named Lakshmibai. Unfortunately, after the death of the king, the British East India Company tried to annex Jhansi under the Doctrine of Lapse policy. They refused to recognize her adopted son, Damodar Rao, as the rightful heir. Rani Lakshmibai, however, refused to give up her kingdom and decided to fight for her rights.
She played a very important role in the First War of Independence in 1857. With great bravery, she organized her army and fought fiercely against the British. She is remembered for her heroic battles and for inspiring other leaders like Tantia Tope and Nana Saheb. Dressed as a warrior, she fought on the battlefield with a sword in hand and her child tied on her back.
Sadly, Rani Lakshmibai lost her life in battle on 18 June 1858 at Gwalior. Though she died young, her courage and sacrifice made her immortal in the hearts of Indians.
Rani Lakshmibai was not just the Queen of Jhansi, but a symbol of bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice.
The famous line, “Khoob ladi mardani, woh toh Jhansi wali Rani thi”, perfectly describes her fearless spirit. She continues to inspire every generation to love and serve the motherland.
This statue is near the talav.
