The Battle of Raigarh (1703-1704) was fought on between the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire. Mugha Emperor, Aurangzeb, ordered for Hamiduddin Khan and Tarbiyat Khan to attack the Raigarh fortress once again, which was being held by Santaji Silimkar. The Mughals devastated the fortress and inflicted massive damage on the Maratha position. Eventually the majority of the fort was captured, but the Marathas surrendered shortly after.[1]
