The '''Siege of Chittorgarh''' was a military operation fought in 1791 at [[Chittorgarh Fort]] in the [[Kingdom of Mewar]]. Forces of the [[Maratha Empire]] under [[Mahadji Shinde]], with the cooperation of the Kingdom of Mewar, besieged the Salumbar rebels who controlled the fort. The siege ended in a Maratha victory, after which Chittorgarh Fort was restored to the Maharana of Mewar.

== Background ==

Chittorgarh was one of the principal fortresses of the [[Kingdom of Mewar]]. During a period of internal political instability in Mewar, the fort came under the control of the Salumbar faction led by Rawat Bhim Singh of Salumbar.

The Maharana of Mewar sought assistance from [[Mahadji Shinde]]. Maratha forces were subsequently employed to recover Chittorgarh from the Salumbar rebels.

== Siege ==

In 1791, Maratha forces acting under the authority of [[Mahadji Shinde]] advanced against [[Chittorgarh Fort]]. The operation was conducted by forces associated with Ambaji Ingale.

The Marathas established siege positions around Chittorgarh and brought artillery against the fort. Batteries were established and the fortress was subjected to bombardment while the Salumbar forces continued to hold the position.

The pressure of the siege eventually compelled the defenders to surrender Chittorgarh. The capture of the fortress ended the Salumbar faction's control of the fort.

== Aftermath ==

Following the Maratha victory, [[Chittorgarh Fort]] was restored to the Maharana of Mewar. The operation strengthened the Maharana's position against the rebellious Salumbar faction and demonstrated the military influence exercised by Mahadji Shinde's forces in Rajputana during the late eighteenth century.

The '''Battle of Kakkor''' (sometimes spelled Kakkod) was fought between the [[Maratha Confederacy|Maratha]] [[Holkar]] [[Indore State|principality of Indore]], led by the veteran Gangadhar Tatya, who was sent into battle by [[Malhar Rao Holkar]], and the [[Rajput Kingdoms|Rajput]] [[Kingdom of Amber]] under [[Sawai Madho Singh]] in present-day Kakor, Uniara, Tonk district of [[Rajasthan]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=G.

In 1759, [[Malhar Rao Holkar|Malharrao Holkar]] invaded [[Jaipur]] where a fierce battle took place. He despatched Gangadhar Tatya. [[Madho Singh I|Madho Singh]] dispatched an army of 4000 that was completely crushed. Tatya attacked Thakur Jodhsingh Singh, who was wounded and killed; the death of this commander was fatal as it saved Marathas who were on the verge of defeat. Gulab Singh tried to command the army, but was also killed. Lastly, [[Sawai Pratap Singh Naruka|Pratap Singh Naruka]] took the charges and fiercely went upon slaying the Marathas. Gangadhar Tatya was wounded, and had to escape from the battlefield whereas casualties of Rajput were huge, nearly 20 captains were slain.
