Battle of Kandarpi Ghat

The Battle of Kandarpi Ghat occurred between the Nawab of Bengal and Raj Darbhanga in October 1753.[1] Many nearby rulers were jealous of the wealth of the rulers of Raj Darbhanga, leading to numerous invasions of that territory over a long period. One such invasion, when Raj Darbhanga was governed by Maharaja Narendra Singh, was led by the Mughal Bengal Subah of Alivardi Khan.[2][3]
