Bilaspur State Under Assistance of: Bhim Chand Chandel Parmanand Pandit The Battle of Nadaun, alternatively known as the Hussaini Yudh[5][6][7][8], was fought at Nadaun, between Raja Bhim Chand of Bilaspur (Kahlur) and the Mughals under Alif Khan.

[11] Bichitra Natak, considered to be the autobiography of Guru Gobind Singh, is one of the major sources of information about the battle.

To meet these expenses, Aurangazeb ordered the Governor of Punjab, Azim Khan, to recover annual tributes from the rulers of hill states, who had been defaulting on the payment for three consecutive years.

Raja Dayal of Bijarwal (or Bijharwal) was persuaded by Kirpal to meet Alif Khan's demands.

At Raja Kirpal's suggestion, Alif Khan proceeded towards Bhim Chand's capital.

The Guru, who was against the idea of paying tributes to the Mughals, decided to support Bhim Chand.

[20] He also states that the Rajputs of the Nanglua and Panglu tribes, and the soldiers of Jaswar and Guler, also participated in the battle.

Nihangs fell martyred, lying on the ground as if intoxicated with cannabis, their hair open like dreadlocked ascetics.Soon after the battle, Chand patched up his quarrel with the Mughal faujdar and agreed to pay tribute to them.

[29] According to Bichitra Natak, Guru Gobind Singh remained at Nadaun, on the banks of the River Beas, for eight more days, and visited the places of all the chiefs.
