The Kingdom of Mewar, sometimes known as Udaipur State, was an independent kingdom in Rajputana region of India, ruled by the Sisodia dynasty. It was established around the 6th century by the minor rulers of the Nagada-Ahar region of Udaipur and later, in the 10th century, it transformed into an independent state under Rawal Bharttripatta II.In 1303, the kingdom was invaded, its capital fort Chittorgarh was besieged and taken by Alauddin Khalji killing the entire main branch of the family known as the Rawal Branch. A junior branch of the family called the Ranas later regained the control of the kingdom in 1326 and under them, the kingdom became the most powerful state in the Northern India. The Kingdom was engaged in multiple battles against the sultanates of Gujarat, Malwa, Nagor and Delhi. At its peak it controlled parts of Sindh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar pradesh. The kingdom emerged as one of the major powers in Northern India in the early 16th century after gaining a streak of successes against the neighboring Muslim kingdoms and was a significant factor in the decline of Lodi dynasty of Delhi. The kingdom declined after the Battle of Khanwa with the Mughals. The kingdom under Udai Singh II and Maharana Pratap was constantly engaged in a struggle with the Mughals and continued through the kingdom accepting Mughal suzernity in 1615 and ended around 1707 when Aurangzeb died. In 1818, it accepted British suzerainty and in 1947, Bhupal Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India and joined the Union of India.
