KRISHNADEVA RAYA |
|
| About five
hundred years ago, a great king called Krishnadeva, Raya ruled over the south of India. His capital was Vijayanagar. This is how the city came to be built. There was a great saint called Vidyaranya. He was very learned. Kings sought his advice. Vidyaranya had two disciples, Harihara and Bukka. They had been ministers in a small kingdom. They got into trouble. So they came to the saint. The saint asked them to build a city around the Hemakuta hill and start a new kingdom. They built it as desired by the guru and called it Vijayanagar and ruled over it for some time. Vijayanagar means the city of victory. |
