Sikandar Adil Shah

Sikandar Adil Shah became sultan of Bijapur at a young age after the death of his father Ali Adil Shah II. His reign was marked by internal factionalism and the growing threat of Mughal expansion under Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb's Mughal army besieged Bijapur fort for over a year. The siege ended with the surrender of Sikandar Adil Shah, leading to the annexation of the Bijapur Sultanate into the Mughal Empire.

After the fall of Bijapur, Sikandar Adil Shah was captured and imprisoned by Aurangzeb. He was held in captivity until his death, ending the Adil Shahi dynasty's rule over the Deccan.
