He handled the Butwal-Palpa front during the Nepal-English war. He vowed to build a temple if he defeated the British and built the Ranaujeshwari Bhagwati temple in Palpa. There is a tradition of Bhagwati Jatra in Palpa. It is because of Ujirsingh Thapa's military skills that the Nepalese army succeeded in defeating the British in the war.

In 1814 AD (1872 BS), the area where the war between Nepal and the British army took place, Jeetgarhi, a structure built during the war to save the glorious history of Butwal, is now being developed into a museum.
