The '''Mughal conquest of Garha''' was launched by the [[Mughal Empire]] in 1564 during the reign of [[Akbar]] (r. 1556–1605) against the [[Garha Kingdom]] (also known as Garha-Katanga) led by regent [[Rani Durgavati]]. The Mughal general [[Asaf Khan I]] launched the attack with the permission of Akbar and easily defeated the Rani's forces, which could not withstand advanced Mughal [[artillery]], at the [[Battle of Damoh]]. The Rani committed suicide during the battle and the young prince [[Vir Narayan]] died in action during the Siege of Chouragarh. The women trapped in the siege committed ''[[jauhar]]'' before Asaf Khan could take the fortress.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Richards |first1=John F. |title=The New Cambridge History of India |date=1995 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=17 |chapter=The Mughal Empire}}</ref>
