Siege of Delhi (1804)
The Siege of Delhi was conducted by the Maratha leader Maharaja Yashwantrao Holkar against the forces of the British East India Company that were assisting the Mughals in defending Delhi during the Second Anglo-Maratha War. Holkar's force of 60,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry confronted the British commanded by Lt. Col.s Ochterlony and Burn. "The important gates - Ajmeri Gate, Kashmiri Gate, and Lahori Gate - saw stiff fighting." Holkar abandoned the siege after reinforcements led by Gerard Lake arrived on 18 October.
