After three previous failed attempts to capture Karnataka, Hyder Ali, the Sultan of Mysore, surrounded and set up camp around Chitradurga Fort. With the threat of conflict on the horizon, every soldier in the area was on his guard. However, just when Hyder Ali thought he would finally succeed in taking over, he met his match in the most unlikely of warriors. Her battle with the Mysorean soldiers would go on to be remembered forever.
