The Battle of Lalsot was fought between the Rajputs of Jaipur and Jodhpur against Mahadji Scindia of Maratha Empire who, as the Vakil-Ul-Mulqtak (Regent), of the Mughal Empire, was burdened to collect taxes from the Rajput States. Mahadji demanded Rs.63,00,000 from the Jaipur court however these demands were refused, upon which Mahadji marched against Jaipur with his army. A part of the Mughal army under Hamdani deserted and defected to the Rajput army before the battle. The battle ended after three days, with the retreat of Mahadji Shinde at Tunga, close to Lalsot.
