Aurangzeb in the Marwar campaign.
Amberraj Jaisingh, one of Aurangzeb's Hindu mansabdars, had died earlier Eleven years later, on 10 December 1678, while holding the position of Faujdar of the Zamrud Pass in Afghanistan, Jaswant Singh, the Maharaja of Jodhpur and Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's chief Hindu general, died After the death of these two Hindu warriors, the country was left without a Hindu leader.
Aurangzeb then seized the wealth of Maharaja Jaswant Singh up to his ancestral kingdom Aurangzeb himself appeared on the borders of Marwar to instill fear in the Rathores Aurangzeb then returned to Delhi from Ajmer on 2 April 1679 and on the same day imposed the Jizya tax on non-Muslim subjects of Hindustan.
Aurangzeb also restored the Jizya tax that had been abolished by the third Mughal emperor Akbar about a hundred years earlier.

Then, on Aurangzeb's orders, the temple was dismantled from Marwar, loaded in a bullock cart, and the idols were brought to Delhi, and they were left in the courtyard of the Delhi Fort and under the steps of the Jama Masjid in the city, so that all might cross on foot.

Meanwhile, thwarting Aurangzeb's plan to imprison him, the Rathore warrior Durgadas returned home with Ajit Singh, the infant son of the late Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur.
The Rathores were roused to new vigour when Ajit Singh returned home Aurangzeb, knowing that Marwar had woken up to a new leader, immediately sent a large army there on 17 August 1679, and two weeks later left Delhi for Ajmer.
Troops were brought from all sides and made Ajmer the headquarters, and then continued across the Marwar, fighting, killing, looting and setting fire to houses The Rajputs were defeated after a three-day battle with Aurangzeb's Mughal forces on the banks of the Pushkar Lake.
As the clouds poured water on the earth, Aurangzeb rained down barbarous armies on this country All the great cities of Marwar were plundered, temples were demolished and mosques were built there Finally, the country of Marwar was divided into faujdari, each with a Mughal governor.
