Jankibai

Janki Bhosale (née Gujar) (1675 - 2 March 1700 CE) was queen consort of the Maratha Empire as the first wife of Rajaram I.

[1] Jankibai was the daughter of Prataprao Gujar, an aristocratic general, who was the commander-in-chief of the Maratha Army.

Shivaji, the king of the Marathas upon hearing the solemn news, grieved his general's death.

However Marathi bakhars and letters reveal that Jankibai was one of the captives taken during the Battle of Raigad along with Maharani Yesubai Bhonsale and Shahuji.

She was released in 1719 from the Mughal captivity by Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath along with Yesubai and other Maratha women.
