Diplomatic Relation of Mahipati Shah with Mughal / Mogul Empire
There is no record available about relationship between Garhwal King and Mughal, Mogul or Moghul Empire. There is mention of Shyam Shah in Mogul memories but not of Mahipati Shah. Mogul Empire died in 1627 and Shahjahan was crowned. Shahjahan was ambitious in expanding his rule all over India. However, Shahjahan was busy in other solutions and did not have any remarkable interaction with Garhwal King.
Characteristics of Garhwal King Mahipati Shah
Less is known about Mahipati Shah barring mention in Gadhrajvansh Kavya by Maularam.
According to Maularam, Mahipati Shah was a brave, strong built, highly ambitious, strong willpower King. Mahipati Shah tried expansion of his rule in all direction though his brave commanders.
Mahipati Shah was knowledgeable in searching and appointing suitable commanders and subordinates.
He had relations with many women. He used to enjoy the company of prostitutes and music.
The Maletha canal building by Madho Singh shows that there was sense of social causes in his rule among political powerful personalities.
It is said that he offered statues in a couple of temples.
Mahipati Shah was strong believer of Vammargi rituals.

History of Garhwal Queen Karnavati (Nak Katti, Nak Katati Rani) humiliating Mughal, Mogul Empire Shahjahan
History of Garhwal including Haridwar (1223- 1804 AD) –part -139

Queen Karnavati as Nakkati, Nak Katti, Nak Katati Rani
At the time of death of Garhwal King Mahipati Shah, his son Prithvi Pati Shah was seven years old as heir apparent. Therefore, a queen of Mahipati Shah took over the administration. The Historians as Atkinson, Valtan, Raturi, Patiram, Rahul and Bhakta Darshan did not mention of queen Karnavati. However, Badshahnama by Abdul Hameed Lahori, Massir– al –Umara mention the name of a queen Nak Katti or Nak Katai Rani and her Muslim commander Dost Beg. Nak Katti or Nak Katai rani means that queen chops nose of enemy or criminals. There is mention of Maharani Mata Karnavati in old manuscript ‘Sanwari Granth9 Tantra- Mantra manuscript) and was kept in dynastic collection of Thakur Shur Beer Singh of Purana Darbar of Tehri.
William and Atkinson and other mention maharani Karnavati as queen of Ajboo Kunwar and those statements are wrong (Ajy S. Rawat).
There is a copper plate inscription issued by Karnavati (1640) that states that Maharani Karnavati offered land of a village Hat to Hatwal Brahmins. Madho Singh Bhandari has been refereed as witness of the offering. This copper plate suggests that Madho Singh did die not in time of Mahipati Shah (1635) and Chhota Chini(Tibet) attack happened after 1635 to 1640.
Commander Dost Beg of Karnavati queen
Massir– al –Umara mentions that queen had a brave, devoted commander Dost Beg. It seems that Dost beg became powerful commander after death of Lodi Rikhola, Madho Singh and Banvari Das Tunwar. Dost Beg was also commander of Garhwal King Mahipati Shah.
Opportunity for Mughal Rule
When Mahipati Shah died around 1635 Shahjahan and his regional commander in Meerut Kirodi Mirza saw an opportunity to capture Doon Valley. Kirodi Mirza the local commander of Meerut Emperor Shahjahan had everlasting ambition to take Kailagarh fort under Mughal rule. However, it was not possible for Mughal to attack on Garhwal in the time of Mahipati Shah.
Mahipati Shah Capturing Sirmaur Region of Dehradun
Mahipati Shah captured Kainigarh (Kalsi) and Viratgarh of Dehradun from Sirmaur (Himachal) Kingdom. The Sirmaur King Karma Prakash requested his friend Mughal Emperor Shahjahan to help to free Kalsi and Viratgarh from Garhwal Kingdom. However, due to various factors, Mughal Emperor Shahjahan could not help Sirmaur King. Karmprakash died around 1654.
Sirmaur King Mandhata the son of Karmaprakash requested Mughal Emperor Shahjahan to help him in getting Kainigarh (Kalsi ) and Viratgarh free from Garhwal after the death of Mahipati Shah.
Shahjahan saw an opportunity to capture Garhwal after death of Mahipati Shah.
