About this listen

The rise of Vijayanagar following closely on the decadence of the empire of the Hoysalas was an important landmark in the political and cultural evolution of Karnataka, particularly the central and southern parts of what at present constitutes the district of Mysore. With the arrival of the Wodeyar dynasty of Mysore, it experienced a renaissance in art, music, and literature, which greatly influenced the region's cultural identity. The episode talks about the political background and geography of Mysore in the 14th century and the rise of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire in the South of India.
