The Deccan had always been a matter of distress for the Mughals. Treaties
were made and breached soon forcing the emperors to act and it took several
campaigns for the Mughals to assume control over the region. The first place to
be annexed was Darur and it was renamed Fatehabad. Darur was a town of
strategic importance situated on a trade route that traversed the Balagat hills
towards Telangana. The secure fort at Darur on top of a ridge was built by
Kisvar Khan Lari, in 1567 AD a commander at Ali Adil Shah of Bijapur.
