Embark on a journey to uncover the origins of the Vijayanagara Empire. From its rediscovery by European surveyors to the legendary tales of its founding, we explore the historical context that shaped this powerful dynasty. Delve into the early days of Harihara and Bukka, and witness the seeds of an empire that would reshape the Deccan. Ramjee Chandran explores the theories around its founding, and the vacuum it filled in the south.
