The Battle of Baghaur was fought between the Sikh forces led by Guru Gobind Singh and the Baghaur forces led by Shiv Partap at Rajasthan.[3]
Daya Singh and Dharam Singh had bren sent to Aurangzeb to deliver a letter written by Guru Gobind Singh called the Zafarnama. Aurangzeb was moved by the letter and invited the Guru to visit him.[4] At Baghaur in Rajasthan, Daya Singh and Dharam Singh met the guru.[5] There he was informed of the news that Aurangzeb had died in Ahmadnagar.[6] The residents, for some unknown reason, planned to attack the Guru. They were mainly terrified of the Guru's caravan which is what made the Guru store it away for a few days.[7][failed verification] A few days had passed and the Sikhs went on to check the caravan camels. They had gone missing. They had consumed orchard trees, which made a gardener confiscate them. He further beat up the camel driver and took him hostage.[2]
After the camel incident, 15 Sikhs went in and attempted to negotiate the release of the camels and the driver. The gardener refused and the Sikhs fought.[2][failed verification] As the battle entered its third day, Dharam Singh with the Sikhs made a dash killed near everyone.[7] The Raja's force made a complete surrender following this.[7]
The Guru decided to turn towards Delhi to meet his wives who were living there.[5] The Guru soon departed to Delhi.[7]
