This is an UTTER LIE.
The claim that Raja Man Singh had 1500 wives and 60 of them committed Sati on his dεath comes from a Mughal Document named Ain-I-Akbari.
Whereas
His dynasty's own Kachhwaha Vamsavali says that Raja Man Singh had 21 wives!

These are the names of his 21 wives.
The principal wife was Rani Kanakavati.
PS: Polygamy was perceived as politically prudent by Kings of Rajasthan in those days because a marital relationship also ensured a military and political alliance with the chiefs of other clans

Further, Raja Man Singh had built 24 apartments for his queens in Zenana Deorhi (Ladies' Apartments), indicating that the king had around 20 wives
Jahangir also wrote that Raja Man Singh had 1500 wives and each wife had two or three children.
Quite unbelievable!
According to Kachhwaha Vamsavali, he had 12 sons but only two sons survived him
