		The Vijayanagara Empire was the last great Hindu kingdom of India, renowned for military achievements and for re-establishing Indian culture and for the advancement of Hindu art, music and literature.
		This location was the obvious choice for the capital of the empire, as it is naturally fortified and protected on all sides; in the north by the mighty Tungabhadra river, and on the other three sides by steep, rocky mountains with massive boulders of granite.
		The empire was founded in AD 1336 by two Hindu princes, Harihara and Bukkaraya - more popularly known as Hukka and Bukka- and continued to grow and prosper until its sacking in 1565 and ultimate defeat in 1646.
