The Battles for Chittor
According to chronicles in Akbar's time, there was just one attack on Chittor by Mughal forces. But in his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, James Tod mentions two, the first in which the Imperial army was driven back, and a second in which it was successful and Chittor fell.
Udai Singh's wife led infiltrations into the Mughal camp during the first attack, and in one such foray the Rajputs reached the heart of the camp and forced the Mughal Imperial army to retreat.
The second siege of Chittor by Akbar was successful. When the northern walls were breached and it became inevitable that Chittor would fall, jouhar was prepared and 13,000 kshatriya women leapt into the raging flames.
