Its objective was to weaken the influence of Hyder Ali and undermine the resources of the Mysore Sultanate. The conflict took place between 1759 and 1760. Upon receiving this information, Hyder Ali promptly marched and assembled his troops near Cenapatam. In retaliation, Gopal Hari lifted the blockade of Bangalore and advanced with a significantly larger force to confront him.
