After the battle of ‘Rakshasa Tangadi’, the Bedars regained the place, but were again driven out after some time by ‘Koneti Nayaka’. His son ‘Venkatapathi Nayaka’ who had differences with the ‘Palegar’ of Chittaldurg greatly strengthened the fortifications. Tipucaptured the fort and made it a part of his Gooty province.
