About Vijayanagara Empire in brief
The Vijayanagara Empire was based in the Deccan Plateau region in South India. It was established in 1336 by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of the Sangama dynasty. The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. At its peak it had subjugated almost all of South India’s ruling families and the Sultans. It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565. Different temple building traditions in South and Central India came together in the Vijayanagara Architecture style. This synthesis inspired architectural innovation in Hindu temples’ construction. Efficient administration and vigorous overseas trade brought new technologies such as water management systems for irrigation. It enabled fine arts and literature to reach new heights in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit. Carnatic music evolved into its current form. It created an epoch in the history of Southern India that transcended regionalism by promoting Hinduism as a unifying factor. It ended after a defeat by the armies of the Delhi Sultanate led by Muhammad bin Tughluq in the 1565 Battle of Gularga. It led to the creation of Kampili, a short lived kingdom near the Tungabhadra river in northeastern Karnataka state. Eight years later, Kampili emerged from the ruins of the Vijayan Kingdom in 1327 CE in 1328 CE in Tauharauau.
The Portuguese ruled Kampili for two decades over the first two decades after the founding of the empire. In the first decade of the 16th century, the populace committed a jauhar (jauhar) to a Hindu king by sending a straw-stuffed severed head of the dead Hindu king to Delhi by sending news of its victory over Kampili to Muhammad bin tughluqi. It is believed that Kampili was the first Hindu kingdom to gain independence from the Sultanate of Delhi in 1528 CE. The last two decades of the 14th century saw Kampili lose control of the region to the Delhi sultanate, and Kampili died out in 1646 CE in the battle of Tungbhadra. Karnata Rajya was a name used in some inscriptions and literary works of the Tamil and Telugu works. It refers to a kingdom that existed in the region between 1294 and 1327CE in the north-eastern part of Karnataka and the south-easterly part of the Karnataka region between 1327 and 1336 CE in Karnataka. The name Karnata Rajya was also used in inscriptions in the Telugu work Jambavati Kalyanam by King Krishnadevaraya. It referred to the Hoysala Empire, which ruled the region from 1294 to 1336. It also refers to the Kannadigas, who were stationed in the area and fought against Muslim invasions from the Northern India.
