Mangrol

Mangrol lies on the Parbati River in the Hadoti country northeast of Kota. In 1821 it was the scene of a battle arising from a dispute within the Kota state. Maharaw Kishore Singh sought to recover authority from the powerful regent Zalim Singh Jhala, whose forces were supported by the British. Kishore Singh was defeated at Mangrol, and his brother Prithvi Singh was killed. The encounter exposed the competing claims of ruler, regent and outside ally.
