History
Mandrayal

Mandrayal is the main town in the Karauli district. It joins the two states of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and is famous for its history. In 1534, Puranmal, the Raja of Amber, fought in favour of Mughals in the Battle of Mandrayal. The following year, Bahadur Shah of Gujrat besieged the fort of Chittoor. Humayun fought against him. Rani Karmawati, the widow of Rana Sanga, ruled Chittor as regent. In order to befriend the Mughals she sent a Rakhi to Humayun, but Humayun did not arrive in time. If he had arrived in time and helped Karmawati, perhaps it would have been Sisodias as their close allies. However, it was Kachwahas who became the first allies of Mughals in Rajputana. Bharmal's policy towards Mughals was merely an extension of his brother's policy.
