In India, everyone knows that Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal for Mumtaz, but no one knows that a Gond queen, Hirai Atram (Hindi: रानी हिराई आत्राम), built a grand mausoleum in the memory of her husband.
The vast empire of South Gondwana Empire was Chandagarh state of many kilos situated at the confluence of Kanhan river, Abhor confluence, Pawanar-Wardha confluence and Godavari-Indravati Pamal Gautami Paralkot Andhari origin rivers and Jharpat-Irai river confluence. This is a heritage of archaeology

Reign[edit]
After the death of her husband Raja Vir Shah, Queen Hirai took over the reins of the Gondwana Empire for about 15 years from 1704. Her tenure is remembered as a strong female ruler. Queen Hirai did many public utility works. She built the mausoleum of the ancestors of the Atram dynasty, the mausoleum of King Vir Shah, many forts, palaces, cannons, ponds, ghats, canals, market places etc. Promoted education, art and music. Queen Hirai introduced gold, silver and copper coins. The subjects used to pay taxes in gold currency.
Rani Hirai carried out many public welfare works. Tadoba pond was built for wild animals in Tadoba forest. Ghodadehi pond was built in the forests to provide water for wild animals and a water park for bird watching. People used to ply on the river through ghats and boats in Wardha, Venganga, Irainadi and Jharpat rivers. The stone state symbols of "lion on elephant" were carved into the walls of entire states. Rani Hirai used to mint gold, silver and copper coins from Khadkya Balladsha, east of Chandagarh. In other states too, the value of those coins was Putri of 2 Tola and currency of 1 Tola was prevalent.
During her 15-year reign, she secured prosperity for the kingdom and educated the future king of Godaputra with all the qualifications to become a good ruler by the age of twenty and in 1719, the queen handed over the throne to her son. Her son Ram Shah was well trained in the politics of Phanda in the forts of Chandagarh. In 1728, at the age of 65, she became a resident of Linga. The tomb of Queen Hirai is near the tomb of King Vir Shah. Ajar became immortal in Gondwana in memory of their love.
Queen Hirai's reign was spent throughout her life fighting wars with the Mughal Sultanate, Maratha, Bahmani, Sultan and her own family. She fought 16 wars during her reign and won all of them. Still, she kept fighting like an Iron Gond Rani, a brave and indomitable warrior. She spent her 15 years of rule doing many reforms for the security, prosperity and prosperity of the state.
