Q131736140
The siege of Paranda was a confrontation between the forces of Bijapur and the allied armies of Vijayanagar and Ahmadnagar led by Burhan Nizam Shah I. Following his defeat at Kalyani, Ibrahim Adil Shah I of Bijapur seized Paranda and appointed a Deccani governor to hold the fort. Determined to reclaim the stronghold, Burhan Nizam Shah I mobilized his forces and advanced towards Paranda. As the allied army approached, the Bijapuri governor, overwhelmed by fear, abandoned the fort under the cover of night. His troops, demoralized by their leader’s flight, followed suit, allowing Burhan Nizam Shah I to recapture Paranda without resistance.
