Dheer Bai Bhattiyani (lit. 'Gentle'), also known as Rani Dheer Bai, was the third and favourite wife of Udai Singh II, the 12th Rana of Kingdom of Mewar. Dheer Bai was the mother of Jagmal Singh, Maan Bai and Chand Bai.
Early life
Dheer Bai was born in Jaisalmer into the royal family of Bhati. Her father, Rawal Lunkaran Bhati, was the ruler of Jaisalmer (r. 1530 - 1551). Her sister Umade Bhattiyani, was the wife of Maldeo Rathore of Marwar.
Marriage to Udai Singh
Dheer Bai was married to Udai Singh II, the 12th Rana of Mewar. She was his third and favourite wife. Dheer Bai was the mother of a son Jagmal Singh and two daughters, Maan Bai and Chand Bai.
Jaiwanta Bai was known to be a Krishna devotee. As the Maharani of Mewar, she built the Badla Wali Sarai and Panghat Baori, in Mewar.
Maharana Pratap's succession
After the death of Udai Singh in 1572, Dheer Bai wanted her son Jagmal to succeed him but senior courtiers preferred Pratap, as the eldest son, to be their king. The desire of the nobles prevailed and Pratap ascended the throne as the 54th ruler of Mewar in the line of the Sisodia Rajputs.
