Explanation

The Battle of Dharmat was fought on 15 April 1658 during the Mughal War of Succession between Aurangzeb and the forces loyal to his elder brother Dara Shikoh (who was allied with Rajput nobles such as Jaswant Singh). Aurangzeb’s victory at Dharmat was one of his first decisive successes in the fratricidal contest for the throne that followed Shah Jahan’s illness, and it helped pave the way for Aurangzeb’s eventual accession in 1658 as recorded in Mughal chronological summaries [1].
