	~~==Background==~~		The '''Battle of Dewair (1582)''' was a battle fought between [[Maharana Pratap]] of Mewar and [[Army of the Mughal Empire\|Mughal]] garrison of Dewair in 1582. Pratap recovered Western Mewar including Kumbhalgarh, Udaipur, and Gogunda, which were lost in [[Battle of Haldighati]]. The victory of Dewair was a crowning glory for the Maharana, with [[James Tod]] describing it as the "Marathon of Mewar". Later Pratap built a new capital, Chavand, near modern [[Dungarpur]].

	~~'''Battle of Haldighati'''~~		==History==
			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 territories. 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 its southern region called 'Wagad' and established Mughal rule in these regions. Pratap and his family took shelter in dense hills at that time and managed to hide till May 1577 when Akbar returned to [[Fatehpur Sikri]]. Only the [[Kumbhalgarh Fort\|fortress of Kumbhalgarh]] was yet unconquered thus Akbar sent 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 \|title=Collection of Oriental Works}}</ref>
