2.2 Hemratan's Gora Badal Padmini Chaupai (1589 CE). 2.1 Malik Muhammad Jayasi's Padmavat (1540 CE). Over the years she came to be seen as a historical figure and appeared in several novels, plays, television serials and movies. In these versions, she is characterised as a Hindu Rajput queen, who defended her honour against a Muslim invader. For example, Rani Padmini's husband Ratan Sen dies fighting the siege of Alauddin Khalji, and thereafter she leads a jauhar. These versions differ from the Sufi poet Jayasi's version. Many other written and oral tradition versions of her life exist in Hindu and Jain traditions. Coupled to the Jauhar, the Rajput men died fighting on the battlefield. Facing a defeat against Khalji, before Chittor was captured, she and her companions committed Jauhar (self-immolation) thereby defeating Khalji's aim and protecting their honour. Alauddin Khalji laid siege to Chittor to obtain Padmavati. Ratan Sen returned to Chittor and entered into a duel with Devapal, in which both died. While Ratan Sen was in prison, the king of Kumbhalner Devapal became enamoured with Padmavati's beauty and proposed to marry her. Ratan Sen was captured and imprisoned by Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi. After an adventurous quest, he won her hand in marriage and brought her to Chittor. Ratan Sen, the Rajput ruler of Chittor Fort, heard about her beauty from a talking parrot named Hiraman. The Jayasi text describes her story as follows: Padmavati was an exceptionally beautiful princess of the Sinhalese kingdom (in Sri Lanka). The versions are disparate and many modern historians question the extent of overall authenticity. Several 16th-century texts mention her, of which the earliest source is Padmavat, a poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE. 
Padmini, also known as Padmavati, was a legendary 13th–14th century Rani (queen) of the Mewar kingdom of present-day India.
