“Real photograph of Jhansi Rani Lakshmibai taken 159 years ago”
What FACTLY found
A blog post says that the photograph is not that of Jhansi Ki Rani. It is also substantiated through various videos and several news articles. Though there is a dispute regarding the presence of an actual photograph of Jhansi Ki Rani and various theories are questioned by historians, the photo in the post seems to be a modern picture and does not belong to Jhansi Rani Lakshmibai who lived in the 1850s
