Sangama Dynasty |
The correct answer is Option 1-Sangama Dynasty The Sangama Dynasty established the kingdom of Vijayanagara. The Vijayanagara Empire was founded in 1336 CE by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of the Sangama dynasty. The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Perso-Turkic Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. The Sangama dynasty ruled over Vijayanagara for over 100 years, and during this time the empire reached its peak of power and prosperity. The Sangama kings were patrons of art and architecture, and they built many magnificent temples and palaces in Vijayanagara. The Vijayanagara Empire collapsed in 1646 CE after a defeat by a coalition of Muslim armies. However, the ruins of Vijayanagara can still be seen today, and they are a testament to the glory and power of the empire. |
