India: The court of Shah Jahan loved elephant fights. In this painting, an elephant called Sudhakar faces down the forces of Prince Aurangzeb.

During the reign of Shah Jahan (1626-58) as emperor, a war of succession to the Mughal throne ensued. The emperor's youngest son, and the governor of Deccan, Abu Muzaffar Muhiuddin Aurangzeb, was amongst the protagonists, and was the ultimate victor in this war after deposing his father.
