when tipu  reached  there  the  fort  on the   hill top  was  taken over, from there  one  could  see the  township  below, , the  confusion and  chaos  was  creating  many  problems, marathas  of  pune  and  deccan  nizam  were  trying  to  come  to  an  agreement, the  negotaions  were  on, finally  they  came to  a decision that  both  their  forces  would   attack  mysore  in a  joint  venture,  freeing  it  from tipu"s  control , they  would  divide  the  lands  between them
