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> | |||
