Recapturing Dehradun from Mughal Rule
After defeat in Mohan Chatti or in a place in Ganga Salan, Najabat Khan ran away from Ganga Salan to Sambhal region. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan was angry on Najabat Khan. The Garhwal army recaptured Dehradun region from Mughal army. However, Garhwal army could not recapture Kalsi from Mughal Army. In Prithvipati Shah Period, Mughal Army looted Jaunsar region very cruelly.
Relation of Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati) with Neighbors
There is no record available for of war between Garhwal and Tibet and between Garhwal and Kumaon. That suggests that Garhwal had amicable relation with Kumaon and Tibet in Karnavati period. Garhwal had hostile relation with Sirmaur Kingdom.
Nath Sect in Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati) Period
There was immense influence of Nath sect in Garhwal from Ajay Pal period. The same influence of Nath sect on society was there in Garhwal in Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati) Period. The inscription of Deval Garh (1626) mentions name of Hansnath and Prabhatnath sages. Prabhat Nath repaired Satyanath Math and had Bhandara (ritual performance and feast).
Brave Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati) Period
Very less is mentioned in Ma’asir –al-Mara about queen Nakkati /Nak Katai. However, that is sufficient to suggest that Karnavati was brave, courageous, stable minded and visionary.
Ruling Period of Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati)
The inscriptions of Prithvipati Shah are available of 1640 and 1660. That means the ruling period of Queen Nakkati /Nak Katai (Karnavati) would be 1635-1639 or 1640.
