Answer:
Not only in Rajasthan but in Indian culture the name of Panna Dhai is a symbol of motherhood, courage, loyalty and sacrifice. There was unstability in Mewar after, the death of Maharana Sanga. Sanga Ratan Singh ascended the throne but he also died in 1531 AD. Then Vikramaditya became the ruler of Mewar. Due to this and his mother’s behaviour, people and samants were unhappy.
Banveer, son of Prithviraj (Brother of Sanga) murdered Vikramaditya and sat on the throne of Mewar. He also wanted to kill child Udai Singh, younger brother of Vikramaditya to rule over Mewar.
Panna Dhai was the Governess of Udai Singh which was the future king or successor of Mewar. Hence by killing him Banveer wanted to secure his kingdom. But Panna Dhai was a brave lady to save Uday Singh, by the feeling of Swami Bhakti, she kept her son Chandan (who was same age of Udai Singh) on the bed.
She sent child Udai Singh out of the palace with her faithful servant. As the greedy Banveer came she pointed her finger towards her own son. Banveer thought that Chandan to be Uday Singh and killed him. Thus, Panna Dhai saved the future of Mewar and showed an example when a mother sacrificed her own child.

In 1192 AD with new preparation Gauri again came for battle in the plain of Tarain. He deceived Prithviraj by the promise of war agreement. In the morning when Rajputs were busy in their daily activities, he attacked suddenly. Many great warriors like Govind Rai and others died in the battlefield. Gauri surrounded the army ofPrithviraj. In this way Turkis established their rule over Delhi and Ajmer. It is illustrated in Prithviraj Raso that he was captured and taken to Ghazni. There Muhammad Ghazni got Prithviraj’s eyes pierced with hot iron rods. Chand Bardai said, “Ghori, a king, though a prisoner can get command from a king, so only you can ask him to shoot.”
Prithivraj was asked to show the art of archery, where he could aim and shoot first by hearing the sound. Chand Bardai said a few verses which gave the exact location of Ghori sitting on his throne.

Babar occupied Delhi by defeating Ibrahim Lodhi in the first battle of Panipat. He had real challenge from Sanga as he was the only ruler at that time who had capability to occupy Delhi. At this time Mewar became the centre of war. All neighbouring states recognized Sanga’s power.
Battle of Khanwa was fought between Sanga and Babar. During this war, Sanga was injured by an arrow. He was taken away from the battlefield and, therefore, Babur won the battle. After this, Babur became the emperor of India and the Mughal empire was established permanently. The unity among Rajputs and their gloiy came to an end after Maharana Sanga.
