Tamadhaundh Battle
There were many groups in Garhwal Kingdom. Narpati Guleriya was leader of one group and other groups were opposing Narpati. The opposite groups advised Shiv Datt Joshi the guardian of Kumaon King Deep Chand to attack on Garhwal army camping at west of Ram Ganga bank and they would advice Garhwal King Pradip Shah to return Shrinagar for security purpose. .
Kumaon army led by Shiv Datt Joshi attacked on Garhwal Army. Small army of Narpati Nagarkotiya defeated Kumaon army. However, the opposite group of Narpati Guleriya in Garhwal King Court advised Garhwal King to run away from battle for security reason. Garhwal king ran awy from battle region towards Shrinagar.
The opposite groups of Narpati Guleriya did not supply necessary war ammunition. Therefore, Kumaon army killed Narpati Guleriya and his armed forces. Now, Kumaoni army followed Garhwal King and his army. The advisors of Garhwal King did not care for security of the King but were busy in their life saving. Kumaon army surrounded Garhwal King. Two Hudkiya the son and father lost their lives in saving the Garhwal King. Garhwal King reached Shrinagar in very bad situation.
Kumaon army looted the Garhwal King Army camp and killed Garhwal soldiers. Atkinson sates that the place of battle took place near Tamadhaundh hill (in Chaukaut Patti, on the road for going to Masi above Udaypur). Jaikrishna Joshi was killed. Hari ram Joshi ran to Kumaon.
According to copper inscription given to Shiv Datt Joshi from deep Chandra, Kumaon army killed one and half thousands Garhwal king soldiers.
Now, Pradip Shah was in defense. Garhwal king lost his army commander and also came to know the people who did conspiracy. Atkinson states that Kumaon army killed 400 Garhwali soldiers.
There was treaty between Pradip Shah and Kumaon King Deep Chandra. There was exchange of turbans from both the end on 6th June, Saturday, 1755.
