The Battle of Nirmohgarh was fought between Khalsa and Mughal Empire in 1702. The year after the Mughal defeat in the Northern Punjab at Anandpur, Emperor Aurangzeb sent a fresh army under Wazir Khan against Guru Gobind Singh. Reinforced by the hill Rajas, Wazir Khan met the Sikhs just outside Anandpur on the banks of the Satluj at Nirmohgarh. The imperial army was forced to withdraw after two days of fighting and heavy losses on both sides.
