Bairam Khan was named Akbar's regent and main military commander. Soon after taking control, Akbar defeated Himu, the Afghan troops' leader, in the Second Battle of Panipat. After a few years, he abolished Bairam Khan's regency and assumed control of the realm. He first offered the Rajputs friendship. He did, however, have to battle some Rajputs who were hostile to him. In the Battle of Haldighati in 1576, he defeated Maha Rana Pratap of Mewar. The Mughal empire became more than twice as large as it had been previously, spanning most of the Indian subcontinent save the south, thanks to Akbar's campaigns.

In modern-day northwestern India, he governed Sapadalaksha, the old Chahamana domain. He ruled over a large portion of modern-day Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi, as well as portions of Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Ajayameru served as his capital. Prithviraj gained military victories over various neighbouring kingdoms early in his reign, most notably against the Chandela monarch Paramardi.
