This
is
the
exact
place
where
there
body
of
Tipu
Sultan
was
found
after
fighting
with
the
Britishers.
There
is
a
small
stone
placed
in
his
remembrance
and
it
is
well
maintained
and
surrounded
by
a
small
garden.
You
have
to
remove
your
shoes
and
enter.
Nothing
much
to
see
at
this
place,
but
good
to
visit
the
historical
site
when
in
Srirangapatna.
In
the
Fourth
Mysore
war
the
British
laid
siege
to
Srirangapatna
on
4th
May
1799
AD
and
effectively
breached
the
Fort
at
Watergate.
On
hearing
of
this
storming
of
the
enemy,
Tipu
moved
in
Posthaste
to
the
spot,
and
in
the
fight,
fell
to
the
bullet
of
a
British
soldier.
It
was
here
the
body
of
Tipu
was
identified
and
recovered
amidst
heaps
of
the
dead
soldiers.
In
the
recognition
of
the
valiant
Tipu,
Colonel
Wellesley
set
a
stone
tablet
to
mark
this
spot.
Tippu
Sultan,
also
spelled
Tipu
Sultan,
also
called
Tippu
Sahib
or
Fateh
Ali
Tipu,
byname
Tiger
of
Mysore,
(born
1750,
Devanhalli
[India]—died
May
4,
1799,
Seringapatam
[now
Shrirangapattana]),
sultan
of
Mysore,
who
won
fame
in
the
wars
of
the
late
18th
century
in
southern
India.
