Jauhar is described as this? All over India, the earliest dated 510 ce. Women sometimes suffered immolation before their husbands’ expected death in battle, in which case the burning was called jauhar |

Hi Nidhi,
'Jauhar' seems to mean a form of ritual suicide...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jauhar I think the spelling may be Jawhar.... http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=uk Picture caption on the left hand side ....Or possibly Johar.... http://forums.swordforum.com/showthread.php?p=681778 Regards David |
