The Battle of Bhupalgarh was fought between the Mughal Empire and Maratha Kingdom in 1679, near present day Khanapur, in a leadup to the Deccan wars. The Maratha were led by Shivaji, the first Maratha king. The battle resulted in the razing of the fort of Bhupalgarh and a decisive victory for the Mughals under general Diler Khan. Shivaji's son Sambhaji, who would later become the second king of the Maratha Empire, fought on the Mughal side after defecting from his father.
