A mile due east of Mertā city is the village of Dāngāwās, with two large tanks lying east of it. Three miles beyond Dāngāwās, in the same easterly direction lies another village, Netāriā, (11 miles north-west of Riān and the Luni river) with a similar water supply. This Netāriā, served as the base of Sindhia's army before the battle, and the fighting began with an attack upon the northernmost point (or the left extreme) of the Rajput trenches which extended from the tanks east of Dāngāwās westwards in a semi-circular line along the south side of Mertā city.
