The Vijayanagar empire was established in South India in 1336 by two brothers, Harihara and Bukka, who rebelled against the Delhi Sultanate. They built the city of Vijayanagar, which lasted for over 230 years and was ruled by three main dynasties. The greatest ruler was Krishnadeva Raya, who defeated neighboring enemies and expanded the empire. However, the empire grew weak after his death and was defeated by a coalition of neighboring rulers in 1565 in the battle of Talikota, bringing an end to the Vijayanagar kingdom.
