The second siege of Nargund was a siege conducted by Tipu Sultan, the Sultan of Mysore, in Nargund in 1785.[1] Tipu Sultan, along with his commander Burhanudhin defeated the Marathas and recaptured Nargund.[2][3][4][5]
Background[]
Main article: Siege of Nargund
In 1778, Hyder Ali, the Sultan of Mysore besieged Nargund and kept its ruler Vyankatrao Bhave as ruler as a puppet.[6][7] Nargund was originally a part of the Ramdurg State in the Maratha Empire.
After the death of Hyder Ali, Bhave attempted to rejoin the Marathas. Tipu Sultan sent his commander Burhanudhin to recapture Nargund.[8][9]
The siege[]
Burhanudhin besieged Nargund and trapped Vyankatrao in his fort. Vyankatrao surrendered to Burhanudhin and the territory returned under Mysore rule.[10][4]
