After his defeat to Sanga at the Battle of Khatoli, Lodi prepared to retaliate against Sanga. The Mewar forces were strained as they were engaged in conflicts with the Sultans of Malwa and Gujarat. The battle, near Dholpur, witnessed a successful charge by the Mewar army, resulting in the defeat of the opposing forces. Following this victory, Sanga extended his conquests to encompass much of present-day Rajasthan.
