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