Battle of Dewair

The Battle of Dewair[6] was a conflict that began on the day of Vijayadashami (Dussehra) in 1582. Maharana was confident with his strategy of taking on the Mughals and regain lost territory. He divided his army into two groups; one unit was led by himself, while the other was led by his son, Amar Singh. In the war, the Mughal army was led by Akbar’s uncle, Sultan Khan[7]. Maharana and his army attacked the Mughal outpost in the village of Dewair, which was situated approximately 40 km northeast of Kumbhalgarh.[8][9][10]
