In 1303 CE Allaudeen Khilji attacked Chittor. After eight months of seige, Allaudeen could not be successful. Then Allaudeen took to diplomacy and initiated the talks for agreement. During talks for agreement Allaudeen took Ratan Singh towards his camp and made him a prisoner.
With the efforts of Gaura and Badal, Ratan Singh was freed from Allaudeen and returned to fort. Now battle was inevitable. There was a fierce battle between them. The Rajput army came out of the fort and attacked the enemy. The chief of Rajput army wore Saffron robes and opened the gates of the fort. Rawal Ratan Singh and his chief Gaura and Badal became martyrs. In this condition in 1303 CE under the leadership of Rani Padmani a number of women performed Johar. This was Chittor’s first Johar.
