After the death of Surtan Singh during Akbar's Siege of Chittorgarh in 1568, Manna was coronated as the Rajrana of Bari Sadri.[5][6]
Role in Battle of Haldighati
[edit]Manna was one of the leading commanders in the Battle of Haldighati. Manna along with his 400 men joined Maharana Pratap at Gogunda and led the left wing of Mewari army.[7] During the battle Manna charged upon the right wing of Mughal army, composed of Sayyids of Barha under Sayyid Hashim. A large number of Sayyids were slaughtered by the Jhalas, and Sayyid Hashim was severely wounded.[8][7][1]
When Maharana Pratap got severely wounded, Jhala Manna snatched the Royal insignia and Umbrella and donned it. Manna pretended to be Maharana in the entire battle and sent Maharana Pratap outside the battle field with the help of Hakim Khan Sur.[9][7] Jhala Manna along with his 150 soldiers martyred in the final battle at Rakt-talai. This act of bravery saved Maharana Pratap as well as the future of Mewar.[9]
