| The '''siege of Purandar''' occurred in the summer of 1665 and was initiated by the [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]], after the [[Maratha]] leader, [[Shivaji]], sacked the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] imperial port city of [[Surat]]. Shivaji continued to raid [[Aurangabad]] and attacked Mughal ships in the [[Indian Ocean]]. In response, [[Aurangzeb]] sent one of his most experienced commander [[Jai Singh I|Mirza Raja Jai Singh]].
