The Battle of Farrukhabad (14 November 1804) was an engagement during the Second Anglo-Maratha War between forces of the British East India Company and the forces of Yashwantrao Holkar of the Maratha Empire.[2]

Battle[edit | edit source]

The battle took place at Farrukhabad in what is now Uttar Pradesh, India.[lower-alpha 1] The Company's forces, led by General Gerard Lake, surprised Holkar's forces after making forced marches of more than 60 miles (97 km) in the preceding 24 hours.[3]

Lake "...attacked the Maratha camp where the soldiers were still sleeping off the effects of the previous night's revelry." Holkar himself very narrowly escaped capture in the attack.[4] The battle ended in a Maratha victory and the British forces were routed.[5]

Geography[edit | edit source]

Farrukhabad is one of the three tehsils in the Farrukhabad District of the State of Uttar Pradesh in northern India.
