Siege of Nalgonda-Pangal (1417-1419) was a military engagement between the forces of Vijayanagara Empire and the Bahmani Sultanate. The troops of Vijayanagara sorrounding the fort under the leadership of the Vijayanagara ruler, Devaraya I, heavily resisted the forces under the Bahmani Sultan, Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah, inflicting a execrable defeat to the Sultan and heavy casualties of his forces.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Background

But as disease broke out in the Bahmani camp, he failed to dominate the fort and was forced to retire with heavy losses. Devaraya I found their predicament a favorable opportunity to retaliate the humiliation he had suffered in the previous war.^[3]
