Chapter 4 - Cremation

Her body was cremated as per her wish, as she didn't want it to be captured by the British.

Rani Lakshmibai's tomb is situated in the Phool Bagh area of Gwalior.

Tantia Tope and Lakshmi Bai then mounted a successful assault on the city-fortress of Gwalior. The treasury and the arsenal were seized, and Nana Sahib, a prominent leader, was proclaimed as the peshwa (ruler). After taking Gwalior, Lakshmi Bai marched east to Morar to confront a British counterattack led by Rose. Dressed as a man, she fought a fierce battle and was killed in combat.
