Jodhabai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jodhabai was an Asian royal from India.
It is a common belief that Jodhabai was the main wife of Akbar and the mother of Jahangir. However the literary sources clearly mention that the wife of Akbar named Mariam-uz-Zamani was Jahangir's mother. Mariam-uz-Zamani married Akbar on February 6, 1562.
One of Akbar's minor wives was Jodhi Bibi, daughter of Rao Mal Deo of Jodhpur from a concubine Tipu Paswan. She married Akbar in 1581.
There was another Jodhabai, wife of Jahangir, who was the daughter of Raja Udai Singh of Jodhpur.
