Imperial forces advancing against the Muslim sultanates of central India again besieged the powerful fortress of Bijapur, which had resisted them five years earlier. Sultan Sikander Adil Shah, who had hired Maratha auxiliaries, was finally forced to surrender after Emperor Aurangzeb himself arrived to take command, ending the independent kingdom of Bijapur.
