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.
