1- Vijayanagara Empire
Virupaksha Temple (Hampi)
Sangama dynasty princes harihara I and Bukka Raya I were the founders of Vijayanagara. They established it in 1336. This great ancient city was the capital of an empire of the same name which also remained one of the greatest superpowers in Indian history. The peak time, you can also call its golden period, of this Indian kingdom remained for almost twenty years (from 1509-29) ruled by Krishnadevaraya. At that time its area was 33-sq-km and the empire spread over nearly the whole peninsula southern region of the rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra.
Ancient Market
Agricultural riches used to bring material wealth to its state that was also connected with global trade markets. But similar to many other powerful regimes, this empire also finally collapsed. It fell down when Deccan sultans attacked on it in 1565, the empire couldn’t get over after then, and was eventually stamped down in 1646 by the Sultans of Bijapur and Golkonda at that time. The city’s ruins have now been declared as a World Heritage Site. They extend all sides of today’s Hampi in the south Indian state of Karnataka.
