Mughal Empire ruled over the place from 17th century. Bakht Buland, the prince of Gond Kingdom of Deogarh and Nagpur established the town of Nagpur. He was succeeded by Chand Sultan. Chand Sultan made Nagpur as his capital. Wali Shah, the illegitimate son of Bakht Buland came to throne in 1739 after the death of Chand Sultan and so the widow of Chand Sultan sought the help of the Maratha ruler Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar.
