This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Comment: No improvement in citations since last decline. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 16:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: For a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be about a notable subject. A subject is notable if it has significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources. Coverage of a subject is significant if the subject is covered in depth in the source; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant. The sources cited in this draft merely contain passing mentions of the siege on Chittor, and none as far as I can tell call it the "Battle of Chittor".Side note: the article title should only be bolded in the first sentence. Remove the rest of the bolding in the draft. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Sources do not meet WP:GNG, only mentioning the battle in context. For an event to be notable warrants some more discussion in a wP:RS about it impact/consequence in many sources. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 17:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

The Siege of Chittor was laid by Malwa Sultanate in 1473. Kingdom of Mewar under Rana Raimal repulsed the besiegers and sultan of Malwa was forced to retreat.[4]
Conflicts
editSultan Ghiyath Shah succeeded his father Mahmud Khalji and he undertook several expeditions against Mewad. The Sultan of Malwa laid siege of Chittor and devastated Dungarpur, Rata and Kalla two brave warriors were killed in the defense.[1]: 147 The Rajputs under Rana Raimal fought bravely and repulsed several attacks. [5] A Rajput of gaur race displayed great bravery and killed many soldiers of sultan of Malwa. Zahir, along with many other officers were killed and sultan was forced to retreat.[2]: 6 [4]
Aftermath
editThe Sultan of Malwa again sent his commander Zafar Khan to plunder the eastern part of the Mewar but he was defeated in the Battle of Mandalgarh and the Sultan offered peace which was accepted by Rana Raimal[2]: 7 [4]
Inscriptions
editThe King of Mewar further inscripted about his victory over the Sultan of Malwa as translated in English—
King Raja Mai deprived Ghiyasa (Ghiyasuddin), the lord of the Shakas (Mussalmans) of his pride on (near) the Chitrukuta, who fought with instruments of capturing, gave blows with ploughs, bewildered (the enemies) with his elephants, had numerous and active troops of horses and camels, had many heroes who fought with loud war-cry and who fought with terrible blows.[2]: 8
On the death of his commander Gaur, Rana Raimal put up his statue on a peak of Chittor, which is named after him. And the inscrption is—
In that battle, a great hero called Gaura constantly destroyed the army of the Shakas, therefore a peak of Chitrakuta, being a portion of the fort, bears this name (Gaura).[2]: 9
