Explanation
The Vijayanagara Empire was founded in 1336 AD by two brothers, Harihara I and Bukka Raya I. They were originally in the service of the Kakatiyas of Warangal and later the Hoysalas of Karnataka.
- Foundation: The kingdom was established on the southern bank of the Tungabhadra River. The brothers were inspired and guided by the sage Vidyaranya to establish a sovereign state to resist the expansionist policies of the Delhi Sultanate in South India.
- Sangama Dynasty: They established the Sangama dynasty, the first of the four dynasties that ruled the empire.
In contrast, the Bahmani Kingdom was founded by Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah in 1347; the Malwa Sultanate was established by Dilawar Khan Ghori in 1401; and the Maratha Empire was founded by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1674.
