Bharatvarsh,
Reconstructing our history is not very straightforward as most of our records were burnt during the wars that took place. Nalanda and Takshila met the same fate and so did the detailed record keeping that was emplyed by our kings. And to add salt to the wounds western and Islamic historians have preached that we do not know how to record our own history! What nerve!
The annals of Jaislamer record that indeed there was a Padmini. She was born in the house of Pugal Bhattis. Ladies of Bhatti clan of Pugal were renowned for there exceptional beauty. Her mother, it is recorded (Bhavani Singh Chauhan former Devasthan commissioner, in his essay, 'Chittorharh ke teen Sake', has recorded on Page 58-59 "Rawal Ratan Singh was married to an extremely beautiful Chauhan rajkumari Padmini of Pugal". He is slightly wrong as in the mother of Rani Padmini was a chauhan.), was a Chauhan rajput which agrees with the fact that her maternal uncle, Gora, was a chauhan rajput. It is also recorded she was married in the house of Mewar.
As per Tawarikh Jaisalmer (History of Jaisalmer by Lakshmi Chand) and Jaisalmer Ri Khyat (Historiology of Jaisalmer by Dr Narain Singh Bhati), Rawal Punpal Singh Bhati had three Ranis:
i) Rani Paip Kanwar Parihaar of Belwaa
ii) Rani Jam Kanwar Devri of Sirohi
iii) Sodhi rani of Thar Pakar
Rani Padmini was the daughter of the second queen that is the chauhan queen.
