The '''Battle of Deeg''', fought on 13 November 1804, took place outside [[Deeg]], now in the [[Bharatpur district]] of [[Rajasthan]], [[India]]. A force of the [[British East India Company]] led by Major General Fraser defeated a Maratha force under [[Yashwantrao Holkar]] and a force of [[Hindu]] [[Jats]] led by [[Ranjit Singh of Bharatpur|Maharaja Ranjit Singh]]. Fraser was himself mortally wounded in the attack. The British captured about 87 guns of the enemy's 160. British casualties were over 640 killed or wounded. Maratha casualties were estimated at over 2,000.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?hl=ja&id=ZQXGmDs3LlMC&q=Deep#v=snippet&q=Deeg&f=false A History of the Mahrattas, by James Grant Duff, vol. 3]</ref><br />
