The Battle of Paranda was a military engagement between the Mughal Army and the Maratha Army led by Rajaram. The Mughals were victorious.
On September 1699, Rajaram made plans by raiding the Mughal territory of Khandesh and Berar.[1] On November 5, he left Satara, leading a large Maratha army into the targeted area. He planned to join his forces with the Gond of Deogarh who were rebelling against the Mughals.[2][3] The Mughal spies were knew of the upcoming raid and informed the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, who soon dispatched Bidar Bakht to intercept the Marathas.[4] At Paranda, Bidar Bakht met with the Marathas and inflicted a severe defeat on them. Rajaram escaped the battlefield and retreated towards Singugarh Fort. Although the Marathas were defeated, one division was able to avoid the Mughals and plundered some areas in Dhamoni.[5][6]
A few months later, Rajaram would soon pass away on March 2, 1700.[7][8][9]
