Maratha King Shivaji campaigned against Bijapur in southeast India, where he attacked the strong fortress of Vellore, then pursued Mughal commander Sher Khan Lodi to Tiruvadi, leaving Narahari Rudra and 7,000 men to maintain the siege. Garrison commander Abdullah Khan finally surrendered Vellore after losing 2,000 men through starvation and disease.
