Led by [[Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah|Tajuddin Firuz Shah]], the Bahmani forces, supported by [[Velama|Velama chiefs]] and the [[Reddi Kingdom|Reddis]], launched multiple attacks on the Vijayanagar empire ruled by [[Deva Raya I]]. Despite his initial resistance, Deva Raya suffered heavy casualties, ultimately leading to the acceptance of the terms imposed by the Bahmanis, ending the war. | |||
Following the [[Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1398)|Bahmani–Vijayanagar war of 1398]], Bahmani ruler Firuz Shah directed his attention northward to quell [[Rajput]] rebellions within his territories. Meanwhile, the Vijayanagar ruler [[Harihara II]] passed away in 1404, sparking a succession struggle among his sons, namely [[Virupaksha Raya]], [[Bukka Raya II]], and [[Deva Raya I]]. Although Virupaksha Raya briefly ascended to the Vijayanagar throne, his reign lasted only a few months before his brother Bukka Raya II took over. However, in 1406, Deva Raya I ousted Bukka and proclaimed himself king of Vijayanagar. | |||
Following [[Deva Raya I|Deva Raya I's]] ascension, a [[Brahmin]] saint returning from pilgrimage in [[Varanasi|Banaras]] recounted his encounter with a goldsmith's daughter named Parthal in [[Mudgal]] Doab, praising her beauty, musical prowess, and other virtues. Intrigued by the Brahmin's description, Deva Raya dispatched him to Parthal's home to propose marriage on his behalf. However, Parthal, mindful of the recent succession turmoil in Vijayanagar and aware of the fate of girls who ventured to the kingdom that they never came back to their families, as well as the practice of [[Sati (practice)|Sati]], declined Deva Raya's proposal. Instead, she expressed a desire to wed an Islamic prince. | |||
Infuriated by the rejection, Deva Raya personally led his army to Mudgal to abduct Parthal. Sensing the impending threat, the goldsmith sought refuge in Bahmani territories. In response, the Bahmani Governor of Mudgal Doab, Faulad Khan, confronted and defeated the Vijayanagar forces, repelling their invasion. | |||
Upon learning of Deva Raya's aggression, Firuz Shah personally led the Bahmani forces, bolstered by allies from the [[Reddi Kingdom]] and Velama chiefs who harbored grievances against Vijayanagar over territorial disputes. Initially encountering resistance, the Bahmani forces persevered and launched multiple assaults on Vijayanagar strongholds. | |||
As the campaign progressed, the Bahmanis seized the strategic [[Bankapura|Bankapur]] region, a major trade center, and systematically conquered various Vijayanagar territories. Faced with overwhelming odds, Deva Raya had no choice but to seek peace and surrender. Accepting the terms imposed by the Bahmanis, Deva Raya agreed to relinquish all lands captured by the Bahmanis during the campaign as dowry, return the territories taken from the Reddis and Velamas, and offer his daughter in marriage to Firuz Shah. | |||
The treaty, though humiliating for Deva Raya, marked the end of the conflict, with the marriage between Parthal, the daughter of the goldsmith, and Hassan Khan, the son of Firuz Shah, cementing the agreement between the two powers. | |||
