The Siege of Bahadur Benda happened between the forces of Tipu Sultan of Mysore and the Maratha forces of Haripant. On January 1, 1787 the Marathas had taken up position between Gajendragad and Koppal. On January 3rd, Tipu Sultan laid siege upon the fort of Bahadur Benda, which was occupied by the Marathas at that time. Haripant attempted to try to stop Tipu's advances, but was unable to do so. The Maratha forces capitulated on condition of their lives being saved. After conquering Bahadur Benda, Tipu continued his efforts against the Marathas and the Nizam. These hostilities would continue until February 10. This was the final battle between the Maratha Empire and the Sultanate of Mysore.
