Battle of Kunjpura
The Battle of Kunjpura, fought on October 17, 1760, was a significant engagement during the Maratha-Afghan Wars. Led by the prominent Maratha commander Bhau marched towards Kunjpura, approximately 150 kilometers north of Delhi, due to high floods preventing the transportation of supplies from the Panjab, particularly from Sirhind. This was a significant temptation for Bhau to embark on the journey.
