The defenders surrendered after the fort's walls were breached. The battle was part of a campaign during the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]] by Maratha leader [[Purseram Bhow]] to recover Maratha territories taken by [[Hyder Ali]] in an earlier conflict between Mysore and the Marathas. By the end of the siege, Reza Sahib a leading [[Mysore]] commander, was among the captured. | ||
