The siege of Nargund took place in 1778 when troops from the Sultanate of Mysore attempted to capture the town of Nargund, a possession of the Maratha Empire.[1][2] Hyder Ali defeated Marathas and captured Nargund. Hyder Ali kept its Brahmin ruler, Vyankatrao Bhave, as the ruler of Nargund as long as he paid an annual tribute.[1]
