Rani Karnavati, was a princess and temporary queen from Bundi, India. She died on March 8, 1534. She married Rana Sanga of Chittorgarh, the Mewar Kingdom's capital. She was the grandmother of the famed Maharana Pratap and the mother of the following two Ranas, Rana Vikramaditya and Rana Uday Singh. She was regent during her son's minority, from 1527 until 1533. She was as tenacious as her husband and defended Chittor with a tiny force until it fell to the Gujarat army, headed by Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. She refused to run and instead did Jauhar in order to maintain her honour.
