Siege of Bidar

The siege of Bidar was a twenty-seven day siege of Bidar Fort mounted by the Mughal Empire against the Bijapur Sultanate. The siege was led by the Mughal prince Aurangzeb during the reign of his father Shah Jahan, and was the opening military confrontation to his broader invasion of the Bijapur Sultanate that same year. The garrison was commanded by Siddi Marjan, governor of the city, who eventually surrendered and then died of his wounds. The siege was a Mughal victory, with Bijapur subsequently negotiating a peace treaty with Shah Jahan. The city of Bidar was ceded to the Mughal Empire, becoming one of the earliest cities in the Deccan to fall into Mughal control.
