[[Shivaji]], facing a siege at [[Panhala Fort]], first scouted an escape route through the besiegers' lines. On July 13, 1660, under the cover of darkness and aided by rain, Shivaji slipped out of the fort with 600 infantry and headed to Vishalgad. He was pursued by Siddi Jauhar’s forces led by his son-in-law, Siddi Masud, resulting in a fierce battle at the Gajapur pass. Baji Prabhu, Shivaji's ally, fought valiantly but was killed.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale |url=http://archive.org/details/shivaji-his-life-and-times-1nbsped-9380875177_compress |title=Shivaji His Life and Times |date=2011 |pages=460-462}}</ref> Shivaji successfully reached Vishalgad, covering 64 km in 21 hours, and then proceeded to Rajgad. The Bandals were honored for their bravery in delaying the enemy's pursuit.
