Siege of Ramsej
The Siege of Ramsej (1682 – 1688) was a series of military confrontations between the Maratha Empire and the Mughal Empire regarding the control of Ramsej Fort in the Nashik region. Aurangzeb arrived in the Deccan in late 1681 with a strong army to destroy the Maratha Empire and the Deccan Sultanates of the Adilshahi and Qutubshahi. He wanted to capture the forts held by the Marathas in the Nashik and Baglan regions. Hence he decided to begin his Deccan campaign with an attack on Ramsej Fort which is near Nashik.
