==Background==

'''Battle of Haldighati'''

Following the [[Battle of Haldighati]], Pratap lost half of his army and [[Mughals]] captured [[Kumbhalgarh]] , [[Gogunda]] , [[Udaipur]] & Chappan. In such conditions, Pratap changed his strategy from open to guerrilla warfare and did not allow [[Mughals]] to settle and retake his lost terrirtories. To suppress Pratap, [[Akbar]] himself arrived at [[Mewar]] in September, 1576 for hunting expeditions in forests during which he [[Siege of Udaipur (1576)|occupied Udaipur]] and it's southern region called 'Wagad' and established Mughal rule in these regions. Pratap alongside his family took shelter in dense hills that time and manage to hide till May,1577 when Akbar returned to [[Fatehpur Sikri]]. Only the [[Kumbhalgarh Fort|fortress of Kumbhalgarh]] was yet unconquered thus Akbar send his general Shahbaz Khan to do so in the next year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://persian.packhum.org/main?url=pf%3Ffile%3D00701020%26ct%3D0 }}</ref>

• 1577 : Shahbaz Khan

• 1578 : Shahbaz Khan second time

• 1579 : Again Shahbaz Khan ( Third time attacked Mewar )

• Each of these invasions were able to occupy cities like Udaipur, Chawand, Gogunda and Kumbhalagarh but were unsuccessful in capturing [[Maharana Pratap|Pratap]] as he was till that time became a master guerilla and each path of aravali hills was now in his mind this allowing him to hide from mughal troops each and every time till the Mughal's departure from mewar.{{cn}} When Pratap was facing shortage of funds, his minister [[Bhamashah]], whose family held the office for ages, placed at Pratap's disposal their accumulated wealth, which with other resources, is stated to have been equivalent to maintenance of army for 12 years.{{cn|}} Thus name of [[Bhamashah]] got preserved as saviour of [[Mewar]]. With such help from [[Bhamashah]], Pratap was able to arrange his new army and planned a major attack on Dewair Fortress defended by a garrison of less than a thousand men.{{cn}}

on 16 September 1582, on the occasion of [[Dashehra]] , [[Maharana Pratap]] motivated his soldiers to fight back and make [[Mewar]] independent once again . Accordingly [[Mewar]] army was divided under two groups : One under [[Maharana Pratap]] and other under Kunwar [[Amar Singh I|Amar Singh]] and
