On October 1661 [[Shahaji]] captured Porto Nova (today Parangipettai). These Ports were captured by Mir Jumala of Golconda but after his desertion to [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] Sultan of Golconda claimed this lands as his while on other hand [[Aurangzeb]] claimed thess Ports. [[Shahaji]] taking the advantage of this confusion captured as many territories as he could.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/shivaji-the-great-1-dr.-balkrishna|title=Shivaji The Great 1 ( Dr. Balkrishna)|pages=147}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/mysore-maratha-relations-under-shahji-shivaji-sambhaji-and-rajaram-as-revealed-in-kannada-sources|title=Mysore-Maratha Relations Under Shahji, Shivaji, Sambhaji And Rajaram (As Revealed In Kannada Sources)|last=B.

==Battle== | |||
By October 1661, [[Shahaji]] had taken control of Porto Novo, using it as a stronghold for his attacks on [[Tanjore District (Madras Presidency)|Tanjore]]. His goal was to capture the coastal towns and extend the power of the Bijapur Sultanate to the east. These towns had previously been ruled by Mir Jumla, but after he switched sides to the [[Mughal Empire]], there was a power struggle. The King of Golconda claimed the territories once controlled by Mir Jumla and sent agents to remove his men. At the same time, [[Aurangzeb]] ordered the King of Golconda to pull his forces out of the [[South India|Carnatic region]], though they were reluctant to give up these valuable towns.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
This period of confusion created an opportunity for [[Shahaji]], and he quickly moved to expand his control. The Sultan of Golconda had trouble enforcing his authority, and it wasn’t until [[Aurangzeb]] became firmly established as the [[Mughal dynasty|Mughal Emperor]] that he was able to force the King of Golconda to surrender the Carnatic. Taking advantage of the instability, Shahji seized as many towns as he could, strengthening his position in the region.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
