Many minor conquests were made in the outskirts of the empire during the first half of Aurangzīb’s reign, the most valuable of which were the annexations of Palāmau (in south Bihār) by Dāūd Khān the governor of Patna in 1661 and of Chittagong by Shāyista Khān the governor of Bengal in 1666. A more romantic success was that of a mission from the province of Kashmīr (1665) which forced the ruler of Tibet (evidently little Tibet or Ladākh) to acknowledge the suzerainty of Aurangzīb, stamp coins in his name, and build a mosque at his capital where the Islamic call to prayer had never been heard before. The conquests in Assam made early in the reign were all lost by the year 1681.
