The siege of Chanderi was a six-month siege led by Sher Shah Suri of the Sur Dynasty in 1543 against Rajput, lead by Raja of Chanderi Puran Mal.[1] At the end of the siege, Mal surrendered to Sher Shah and was executed thereafter.[2][3][4][5]

In 1542, Sher Shah had conquered Malwa and moved towards Chanderi to annexe the region.[1][6] Mal had rebelled because in pursuance of his usual policy of administration, Sher Shah had transferred him to Benares.[2][7]Soon after, Sher Shah besieged the fort of Chanderi. Puran Mal surrendered on January 1543[8] and was later executed by Sher Shah.[9][10]
