The Battle of Kunjpura was fought on 17 October 1760, and it was a significant engagement during the Maratha-Afghan Wars. It was led by the prominent Maratha commander Bhau, and marched towards Kunjpura, approximately 150 kilometers north of Delhi, due to high floods preventing the transportation of supplies from the Panjab, particularly from Sirhind. This was a significant temptation for Bhau to embark on the journey.
