The Vijayanagara Empire started declining after the death of Emperor Krishnadevaraya in 1529. The Battle of Talikota in 1565 was a major reason for the fall of the Vijayanagara Kingdom, as Ramaraya was defeated by an alliance of Muslim sultans. The Vijayanagara city was pillaged and ruined after this war, leading to the drastic fall of the Vijayanagara Kingdom.
