The following essay on Vijayanagara Vijayanagara Empire was very long. Make it short ." THE VIJAYANAGARA EMPIRE " The Vijayanagara Empire (also called Karnata Empire,[3] and the Kingdom of Bisnegar by the Portuguese) 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 Sangama Dynasty,[4][5][6] members of a pastoralist cowherd community that claimed Yadava lineage.[7][8][9] 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 Indias ruling families and the Sultans of the Deccan region thus becoming a notable power.[10] It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates. The empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose ruins surround present day Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India.[11] The writings of medieval European travelers such as Domingo Paes, Fernão Nunes, and Niccolò Da Conti, and the literature in local languages provide crucial information about its history. Archaeological excavations at Vijayanagara have revealed the empire's power and wealth.CapitalVijayanagara, Penukonda, Chandragiri[1]Common languagesKannada, Sanskrit, Telugu[2]ReligionHinduismGovernmentMonarchyKing• 1336–1356Harihara I• 1642–1646Sriranga IIIHistory• Established1336• Earliest records1343• Disestablished1646CurrencyVarahaPreceded by Succeeded by Hoysala Empire Kakatiya dynasty Kampili kingdom Madurai Sultanate Pandyan dynasty Musunuri Nayaks Reddy dynastyKingdom of Mysore Nayakas of Keladi Thanjavur Nayak kingdom Madurai Nayak dynasty Nayakas of Chitradurga Adil Shahi dynasty Qutb Shahi dynasty Nayaks of Gingee Today part ofIndiaVijayanagara EmpireSangama dynastyHarihara I 1336–1356Bukka Raya I 1356–1377Harihara Raya II 1377–1404Virupaksha Raya 1404–1405Bukka Raya II 1405–1406Deva Raya I 1406–1422Ramachandra Raya 1422Vira Vijaya Bukka Raya 1422–1424Deva Raya II 1424–1446Mallikarjuna Raya 1446–1465Virupaksha Raya II 1465–1485Praudha Raya 1485Saluva dynastySaluva Narasimha Deva Raya 1485–1491Thimma Bhupala 1491Narasimha Raya II 1491–1505Tuluva dynastyTuluva Narasa Nayaka 1491–1503Vira Narasimha Raya 1503–1509Krishna Deva Raya 1509–1529Achyuta Deva Raya 1529–1542Venkata I 1542Sadasiva Raya 1542–1570Aravidu dynastyAliya Rama Raya 1542–1565Tirumala Deva Raya 1565–1572Sriranga I 1572–1586Venkata II 1586–1614Sriranga II 1614Rama Deva Raya 1617–1632Venkata III 1632–1642Sriranga III 1642–1646The empire's legacy includes many monuments spread over South India, the best known of which is the group at Hampi. 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. The empire's patronage enabled fine arts and literature to reach new heights in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit, while Carnatic music evolved into its current form. The Vijayanagara Empire created an epoch in the history of Southern India that transcended regionalism by promoting Hinduism as a unifying factor.​
