Medieval India: An Imperial Capital: Vijayanagara

Question:

Read the following statements:
1 Krishnadeva Raya's rule was characterised by expansion and consolidation.
2 There was peace and prosperity in his empire.
3 He was credited with building some fine temples.
4 He was defeated in the Battle of Rakshi Tangadi.
Which of the above statements are related to Krishnadeva Raya?

Options:

Only 1

Only 1,2 and 3

Only 2,3 and 4

1,2,3 and 4

Correct Answer:

Only 1,2 and 3

Explanation:

The Muslim Sultanates to the north of Vijaynagara united and attacked Aliya Rama Raya's army, on 23 January 1565, in an engagement known as the Battle of Talikota. The armies clashed on the plains near the villages of Rakkasagi and Tangadigi (it is also known as the Battle of Rakkasa-Tangadi). Thus, this battle was not fought by Krishna Dev raya. So option IV is wrong.
