The mission was fraught with peril, as the fort was heavily guarded by [[Mughal Empire|Mughal forces]] under the command of Udaybhan Rathod, a formidable warrior in his own right. Under the cover of darkness, Tanaji and his men scaled the steep and treacherous cliffs of the fort using innovative tactics and sheer determination. They encountered fierce resistance but managed to breach the fort's defenses. The battle was fierce and intense, with hand-to-hand combat being the order of the night. Tanaji Malusare led from the front, inspiring his troops with his bravery. The tide of the battle turned in favor of the Marathas due to their relentless assault and strategic prowess. Despite the overwhelming odds, Tanaji Malusare and his troops managed to secure the fort. However, Tanaji himself was mortally wounded in the final stages of the battle. His death was a profound loss for the Marathas, but his sacrifice became a symbol of ultimate bravery and dedication.
