Padmâvatî
Alaouddin, sultan of the Khilji dynasty, besieges Chittor and asks its ruler, Ratan-Sen, for peace. After seeing the city, he demands Ratan-Sen’s wife Padmâvatî, famed for her beauty. The Khilji army attacks, and the wounded Ratan-Sen tells Padmâvatî that surrendering herself is the only way to save the people. Ratan-Sen is stoned to death, and Padmâvatî joins him on his funeral pyre.
