Wikipedia Overview

The Battle of Arakere was fought near the Mysorean capital city of Seringapatam on 15 May 1791 during the Third Anglo-Mysore War. An army under Charles Cornwallis consisting of East India Company and British Army forces, along with allied forces from the Nizam of Hyderabad, arrived near Seringapatam, and sought a crossing of the Kaveri River near the village of Arakere where Tipu Sultan, Mysore's ruler, had established a defensive line. On 13 May, near Arakere, about 10 miles below Seringapatam, Tipu decided to offer battle from a position on nearby heights. In the ensuing battle, Cornwallis's infantry managed to dislodge Tipu's men from the heights, but the Mysoreans regrouped and stood their ground until cavalry from his ally the nizam of hyderabad smashed Tipu's lines. The Mysoreans broke, but they were able to retreat to Seringapatam under the protection of its surrounding defensive artillery. Cornwallis's men held the field but were in no state to give chase or lay siege, rendering their victory hollow.
