The correct answer is Lucknow. Begum Hazrat Mahal’s band of supporters, led by Raja Jalal Singh rebelled against the forces of the British. After the recapture of Lucknow by rebel forces led by the Begum and her allies, she crowned her 11-year-old son Birjis Qadras the ruler of Avadh.
Begum Hazrat Mahal led the 1857 revolt in Lucknow.
Also known as the Begum of Awadh, she was the second wife of Nawab of Awadh Wajid Ali Shah, and the regent of Awadh in 1857–1858.
During the Rebellion, Begum Hazrat Mahal’s band of supporters rebelled against the forces of the British under the leadership of Raja Jailal Singh; they seized control of Lucknow, and she took power as the guardian of her minor son, Prince Birjis Qadr, whom she had declared as the ruler (Wali) of Awadh. As regent, she automatically came to have a leadership role in the rebellion against the British.
In March 1858, the British recaptured Lucknow and she was forced to flee to Nepal with other revolutionary leaders. She died there in 1879.
