The climax and decline of Vijaynagar empire:
-The first dynasty, known as the Sangama dynasty, exercised control till 1485. They were supplanted by the Saluvas, who were replaced by the Tuluvas in 1503.
-Krishnadeva Raya belonged to the Tuluva dynasty. His rule was characterised by expansion and consolidation.
-Krishnadeva Raya is credited with building some fine temples and adding impressive gopurams to many important south Indian temples.
-Strain began to show within the imperial structure following Krishnadeva Raya’s death in 1529. His successors were troubled by rebellious nayakas or military chiefs.
-During this period, as indeed earlier, the military ambitions of the Deccan Sultanates resulted in shifting alignments. Eventually this led to an alliance of the Sultanates against Vijayanagara.
-Although the armies of the Sultans were responsible for the destruction of the city of Vijayanagara, relations between the Sultans and the rayas were not always or inevitably hostile.
-In fact the Vijayanagara kings were keen to ensure the stability of the Sultanates and vice versa.
