Question

What was the important reason for the fall of Vijayanagar Empire?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Vijayanagara Empire started to decline shortly after the death of emperor Krishnadeva Raya, who reigned from 1509–1529.

• He was the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. His successors were weak and were troubled by the rebellious military chiefs, the Nayakas.
• The combined forces of Deccan sultans, Ahmednagar, Bijapur, Golconda and Bidar declared war on Vijayanagar during the rule of Rama Raya. Rama Raya was defeated. He and his troop were killed mercilessly.
• The Battle of Talikota in the year 1565 is considered the major breakdown of the Vijayanagar Empire.
• Vijayanagar was pillaged and ruined. This was a serious issue and then Vijaynagar kingdom fell drastically.
