Udai Singh II was the fourth son of Rani Karnawati and Maharana Sangram Singh who was popularly known as Rana Sanga. After Rana Sanga’s death, his enemies tried to kill Udai Singh II who was only a child at that time. He was rescued by his nurse Panna Dhai who replaced him with her own son and sacrificed his life for the safety of the young prince. Later when he ascended the throne, he was attacked by Akbar. At this time, he had already left Chittor 9 years ago, ending up in Udaipur, giving Mewar its new capital.
The city of lakes ‘Udaipur’ is named after its founder, who then made it his capital even before Chittor was sacked by Akbar. When the Mughal forces attacked Chittor, the then capital of Mewar, Maharana Udai Singh II and the royal family had already left for Gogunda, making it a temporary capital until Udai Singh II shifted to Udaipur, making this gem the new capital of Mewar
He had twenty wives and twenty-five sons.
He defeated the Marwar Rajputs in the Battle of Sumel in 1544 CE. The battle resulted in a pyrrhic Afghan victory and after this Sher Shah shifted his focus on Mewar. But cunning Uday Singh used diplomacy rather than endless war against Sher Shah.
Rani Bhatiyani was the youngest wife of Rana Uday Singh and the most loved mother of Maharana Pratap. She would plan scheme after scheme and no one would ever suspect her except the Maharani of Mewar, Jaivanta Bai. After Pratap grew up, Uday Singh developed a suspect on Bhatiyani.
