Historical References

Chetak was a legendary Rajput warrior from the princely state of Marwar in Rajasthan, India. He is best known for his unwavering loyalty to his king, Rana Pratap of Udaipur. During the Battle of Haldighati in 1576, Chetak led Rana Pratap's cavalry charge against the Mughal army. Despite being wounded in the battle, Chetak continued to fight and inspire his troops, before sacrificing himself to save his king.

16th Century

Another legend surrounding Chetak is that of his divine horse, 'Kumat'. It is said that Chetak had promised his mother that he would return riding on a white horse. Even though he entered the battle on an ordinary horse, after being wounded, he was carried on Kumat's back as they both charged into the battle. This act of honor and faithfulness further solidified Chetak's place in Indian folklore.
