The '''Battle of Sarangpur''' was fought between [[Rana Kumbha]] and [[Mahmud Khilji|Sultan Mahmud Khilji]]. Mahpa Panwar, who was one of the assassins of [[Rana Mokal]], was sheltered by the Sultan of [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]]. A demand for this person was made by Rana Kumbha, but Mahmud Khilji refused to surrender the refugee. The Rana prepared for hostilities and advanced to attack Mandu. The Sultan advanced with a powerful army to meet Kumbha.<ref>Har Bilas Sarda "Maharana Kumbha: sovereign, soldier, scholar pg 26"</ref><br />
<br />
==Battle==<br />
The two armies met in A.D. 1437 and after a severe engagement, the Sultan's army was utterly routed. The Sultan fled to the refuge of his fort of Mandu. The Rana's army followed up the victory and laid siege to Mandu. When the Sultan was hard pressed, he told Mahpa Panwar that he could keep him no longer. Mahpa thus fled to Gujarat. Kumbha stormed and took the fort. [[Ranmal]]'s forces captured Sultan [[Mahmud Khilji]], his army fleeing in all directions. The Rana returned to Chittor bringing the Sultan captive with him.<ref>Har Bilas Sarda "Maharana Kumbha: sovereign, soldier, scholar pg 27"</ref><br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
To commemorate this great victory, [[Rana Kumbha]] built the great [[Vijay Stambha]](Tower of Victory) in the fortress of [[Chittor]]. Before, however, this tower was completed the Rana had to face and vanquish the combination of the two most powerful kingdoms in India at the time, those of Gujarat and Malwa, these glorious events are inscribed on the celebrated tower. Sultan [[Mahmud Khilji]] remained a prisoner in [[Chittor]] for a period of six months, after which he was liberated without ransom by [[Rana Kumbha]].<ref>Gazetteer of Udaipur, 1908, pg 17. </ref><ref>Har Bilas Sarda "Maharana Kumbha: sovereign, soldier, scholar" pg 28</ref><br />
