Begum Hazrat Mahal (; c. 18207 April 1879), also known as Begum of Awadh, was the first wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. She rebelled against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. After her husband had been exiled to Calcutta, she took charge of the affairs in the state of Awadh and seized control of Lucknow. She also arranged for her son, Prince Birjis Qadra, to become ''Wali'' (ruler) of Awadh; However, he was forced to abandon this role after a short reign. She finally found asylum in Nepal where she died in 1879.
==Biography==
Mahal's maiden name was Muhammadi Khanum, and she was born at Faizabad, Awadh, India. She was a courtesan by profession and had been taken into the royal harem as a ''khawasin'' after being sold by her parents. She was then sold to Royal agents, and later promoted to a ''pari'',〔Michael Edwardes (1975) ''Red Year''. London: Sphere Books; p. 104〕 and was known as Mahak Pari. She became a ''begum'' after being accepted as a royal concubine of the King of Oudh,〔Christopher Hibbert (1980) ''The Great Mutiny'', Harmondsworth: Penguin; p. 371〕 and the title 'Hazrat Mahal' was bestowed on her after the birth of their son, Birjis Qadra.
She was a junior〔Saul David (2002) ''The Indian Mutiny'', Viking; p. 185〕 wife of the last Tajdaar-e-Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah. The British had annexed Oudh in 1856 and Wajid Ali Shah was exiled to Calcutta. After her husband was exiled to Calcutta, she took charge of the affairs of the state of Awadh despite her divorce from the Nawab, which then was a large part of the current state of Uttar Pradesh, India.
