Unlike his predecessors, Jai Singh opted for diplomacy to maintain peace with the Mughals.

He signed a treaty with Aurangzeb in 1681, conceding three districts and agreeing to a tribute in exchange for a cessation of hostilities.

Jai Singh, anticipating renewed conflict, adopted defensive strategies.

He constructed hidden refuges within his territory to safeguard his people and supplies from potential Mughal attacks.

Despite the treaty, skirmishes and military confrontations between Mewar and the Mughal forces continued throughout Jai Singh's reign.
