Vijaynagar empire was built by two brothers Harihar and Bukka in 1336. It was named after the city of Vijayanagara which was the capital of this empire. The most powerful ruler of this empire was Krishnadeva Raya. Virupaksha was a form of Shiva which was chosen as a tutelary deity of the Vijayanagara Kings. After the death of Krishanadeva Raya, this empire gradually declined in power. Realising this weakness, Muslim Sultans of Ahmednagar, Bidar, Berar, Bijapur, and Golkonda joined their hand together and defeated their common enemy Vijayanagara in the battle of Talikota in 1565.
