The Battle of Dholpur in today's India occurred between the Kingdom of Mewar, led by Rana Sanga, and the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, commanded by Ibrahim Lodi, culminating in a victory for Mewar.
After his defeat to Sanga at the Battle of Khatoli, Lodi prepared to retaliate against Sanga. The Mewar forces were strained as they were engaged in conflicts with the Sultans of Malwa and Gujarat. The battle, near Dholpur, witnessed a successful charge by the Mewar army, resulting in the defeat of the opposing forces. Following this victory, Sanga extended his conquests to encompass much of present-day Rajasthan.

Ibrahim Lodi initiated action against Mewar, sending an army led by Mian Makhan. The Delhi Sultanate's army included commanders like Mian Hussain, Zar Baksh, Mian Farmuli and Mian Maruf14. Rana Sanga, in turn, advanced against the Delhi army and dealt it a conclusive defeat. (Mian Hussain apparently opted to change sides as a result). The Rana also captured Chanderi, which Sultan Sikandar Lodi had invested in 1514 (along with Gwalior and parts of Malwa).
