- The Fall of Hampi: The Last Days of the Vijayanagara Empire | Battle of Talikota Explained
Hampi, once the crown jewel and capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, stood as a symbol of India's glorious past-a beacon of art, culture, and architectural grandeur. However, this magnificent city in Karnataka met a tragic end following the devastating Battle of Talikota in 1565 AD, a battle that altered the course of Indian history forever. This UA-cam video dives deep into the events that led to the collapse of Hampi and the eventual ruin of the Vijayanagara Empire, comparing the destruction to that of ancient Rome.
The Battle of Talikota was marked by betrayal, treachery, and unprecedented violence. While King Rama Raya of Vijayanagara was gaining the upper hand against the combined forces of the Deccan Sultanates, two Muslim generals defected to the enemy camp, turning the tide of battle. The subsequent slaughter and pillage that ensued were beyond imagination, wiping out one of the richest and most powerful empires in Indian history.
For five long months, the victorious sultanates ravaged Hampi, reducing its temples, palaces, and statues to dust. The city, once a bustling metropolis, was left in ruins, its heritage shattered, and its people massacred or enslaved. The great statues of Narasimha and the Vitthala Temple, which were masterpieces of Indian art, were destroyed beyond repair.
