The battle of Multan was a significant military engagement that took place in March 1818 as part of the ongoing Afghan-Sikh Wars. The battle involved the Sikh Empire, led by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and the Durrani Empire, represented by the Afghan governor of Multan, Muzaffar Khan. The siege lasted for several months, during which the Sikh forces employed a combination of artillery bombardment and strategic maneuvers to weaken the Afghan defenses. Despite fierce resistance from the Afghans, the Sikh army ultimately prevailed, capturing the city of Multan and marking a turning point in the power dynamics of the region. The victory consolidated Sikh rule in the Multan region and paved the way for further expansion of their territories.
