The battle
Edit
Lohgarh and Fatehgarh were the two main forts under Gobind Singh's control. Sher Singh and Nahar Singh were asked to guard Lohgarh, and Ude Singh was appointed as chief to guard Fatehgarh.
The hill Rajas attacked the Guru's forces, but had to retreat. They held a brief council, and decided to launch a three-sided attack. Raja Kesari Chand of Jaswal launched an attack from the right flank, Jagatullah attacked from the left flank, and Ajmer Chand led his troops to make a front attack on Anandpur.
In the ensuing battle, Jagatullah was killed by Bhai Sahib Singh. Raja Ghumand Chand of Kangra rallied his troops but failed to defeat the Guru's forces. The Rajas again held a council, in which Ajmer Chand proposed reconciliation with the Guru. Many Rajas agreed, but Raja Kesari Chand of Jaswal opposed the proposal, and suggested a more determined fight next day, to oust the Guru from Anandpur.
Answer:
The battle of Anandpur was famous because it was fought between allied forces of the Rajas of the Sivalik hills and Sikhs.
The main reasons behind the battle of Anandpur was the rising power and influence of Guru Gobind Singh and even the Mughal rulers were also frightened and failed to subdue the Guru in the first battle of the Anandpur.
