	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]], whose forces exercised considerable military and political influence in northern India during this period. Maratha forces were subsequently employed to recover Chittorgarh from the Salumbar rebels.
