The Vijayanagara empire (Kannada: ವಿಜಯನಗರ ಸಾಮ್ರಾಜ್ಯ, Telugu: విజయనగర సామ్రాజ్యము) was based in the Deccan, in peninsular and southern India, from 1336 CE onwards. It was founded by Harihara, also known as Hakka, and his brother Bukka Raya with the support of saint Vidyaranya.[1] It is named after its capital city Vijayanagara, whose impressive ruins surround Hampi in modern Karnataka, India. It lasted from about 1336 CE to perhaps about 1660 CE, though throughout its last century it was in a slow decline due to a catastrophic defeat at the hands of an alliance of the Sultanates. Its founding, and even great part of its history are only now being discovered[2], but its power and wealth are attested by the writings of many European travellers, such as the Portuguese travelers Domingo Paes and Nuniz, and the Venetian Niccolò Da Conti in 1420. Several works of literature in local vernaculars also provide critical information needed to piece together the history of the empire.[3]\n\nThe empire left behind a legacy of great monuments spread all over South India, the finest of which are at the regal capital Vijayanagara (Hampi), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Literature and poetry reached a new peak in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Sanskrit with works spanning Advaita, Dvaita, Virashaiva and Jaina faith. Efficient administration and overseas trade brought many new technologies to South India, especially in the field of irrigation and water management.[4] Mingling of the people of South India, irrespective of faith and vernacular brought new inspiration in architecture resulting in the construction of Hindu temples in the Deccan style and later in the dravidian idiom using locally available granite. The traditions that had been acquired in temple building during the rule of previous great empires of South India seemed to all come together into one style, called the Vijayanagar Architecture. Many royal structures were also built in secular style showing influences from the Sultanates of Northern Deccan. This era saw the birth of Carnatic music in its current form. Above all, the empire created an epoch in the history of South India which rose above the politics of narrow regionalism espousing the cause of the ancient and indigenous Hindu dharma.\n\nThe Empire\nVijayanagara Empire\n \nSangama Dynasty \nHarihara Raya I 1336-1356 \nBukka Raya I 1356-1377 \nHarihara Raya II 1377-1404 \nVirupaksha Raya 1404-1405 \nBukka Raya II 1405-1406 \nDeva Raya I 1406-1422 \nRamachandra Raya 1422 \nVira Vijaya Bukka Raya 1422-1424 \nDeva Raya II 1424-1446 \nMallikarjuna Raya 1446-1465 \nVirupaksha Raya II 1465-1485 \nPraudha Raya 1485 \nSaluva Dynasty \nSaluva Narasimha Deva Raya 1485-1491 \nThimma Bhupala 1491 \nNarasimha Raya II 1491-1505 \nTuluva Dynasty \nTuluva Narasa Nayaka 1491-1503 \nViranarasimha Raya 1503-1509 \nKrishna Deva Raya 1509-1529 \nAchyuta Deva Raya 1529-1542 \nSadashiva Raya 1542-1570 \nAravidu Dynasty \nAliya Rama Raya 1542-1565 \nTirumala Deva Raya 1565-1572 \nSriranga Deva Raya 1572-1586 \nVenkatapati Deva Raya 1586-1614 \nSriranga Raya 1614 \nRamadevaraya 1617-1632 \nVenkatapati Raya 1632-1642 \nSriranga Raya II 1642-1646 \nVenkatapati Raya II \n \n\n[edit] Founding\nMain article: origin of Vijayanagar empire\nThe founding of the original kingdom was based on the principality of Anegondi, based on a fortified town on the Tungabhadra river in the Deccan. In the century preceding the founding of the empire, the old kingdoms of the Deccan had been overrun by Muslim invaders from the north. From 1309, Malik Kafur reached and captured Warangal, later on reaching the Malabar kingdoms. Mubarak of Delhi reached Warangal again in 1323. Between 1334 and 1336, Muhammad Tughlaq of Delhi again overran the region, capturing Anegondi.\n\nMany theories have been propounded about the origin of Vijayanagar empire.
