3 Battle of Haldighati Battle of Haldighati was fought on February 18, It was primarily fought in the traditional manner between cavalry and elephants since the mughals found it difficult to transport artillery over the rough terrain. In a traditional fight the Rajputs were at an advantage; their impetuous attack led to a crumbling of the mughal left and right wings and put pressure on the center until reserves, and a rumor of Akbar's arrival, turned the tide, and resulted in a Rajput retreat and they lose the battle. (source - Wikipedia)

4 After the battle of Haldighati
On the third day after the Battle of Haldighati, on 23 June 1576, Man Singh I conquered Gogunda which was later recaptured by Pratap in July 1576.Pratap then made Kumbhalgarh his temporary capital. After that, Emperor Akbar decided to personally lead the campaign against Pratap.In the process, Gogunda, Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh were occupied by the Mughals, forcing the Rana deeper into the mountainous tracts of southern Mewar.[citation Mughal pressure was exerted on the Afghan chief of Jalor, and the Rajput chiefs of Idar, Sirohi, Banswara, Dungarpur, and Bundi. These states, situated on the borders of Mewar with Gujarat and Malwa had traditionally acknowledged the supremacy of the dominant power in the region.  (source - Wikipedia)

5 Chetak Chetak was the horse of Maharana Pratap, whom Pratap rode during the Battle of Haldighati, June 21, Chetak died in this battle and since then has been immortalized in the ballads of Rajasthan. The warhorse was of Kathiawari breed.Folklore has it that Chetak's coat had a blue tinge. That is why Rana Pratap is sometime referred as the Rider of the Blue Horse in ballads. (source - Wikipedia)

6 Death of Maharana Pratap
Pratap died of injuries sustained in a hunting accident at Chavand, which served as his capital, on 29 January 1597, aged 57. A chhatri (monument) at the site of Pratap's funeral in Chavand is an important tourist attraction.[18]  (source - Wikipedia)
