Manikarnika, whose mother passed away when she was four, was brought up by her father and had much more freedom than other girls her age, at the time. She was schooled at home, and her studies included shooting, horsemanship, fencing, and mallakhamb. She was married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Gangadhar Rao Newalkar, in May 1842 and took the name Rani Lakshmi Bai.
