Maharana Pratap is particularly remembered for his resistance against the Mughal emperor Akbar, who sought to expand Mughal control over Mewar. The famous battle between Maharana Pratap and Akbar took place in 1576 at Haldighati, near Udaipur. Although Maharana Pratap's army was outmatched by the Mughals, the Rajputs put up a fierce resistance and Maharana Pratap managed to evade capture and escape.

After this battle, Maharana Pratap continued to resist the Mughals through guerrilla warfare, with the support of his loyal followers, known as the Bhil tribes. He is also known for his efforts to bring about unity among the Rajput kings and to strengthen the Rajput confederacy.
