Explanation:

Hampi was recognized as a site of national importance in 1976.

In 1565 Rama Raya, the chief minister of Vijayanagara, led the army into battle at Rakshasi-Tangadi (also known as Talikota), where his forces were routed by the combined armies of Bijapur, Ahmadnagar and Golconda. The victorious armies sacked the city of Vijayanagara. The city was totally abandoned within a few years.

Krishnadeva Raya died in 1529. His successors were troubled by rebellious nayakas or military chiefs.

Krishnadeva Raya became the king of the Vijayanagar empire in 1509. He was the most famous ruler of Vijayanagara & composed a work on statecraft in Telugu known as the Amuktamalyada.
