“Founded in 1336 AD, Vijayanagara would soon grow to be one of the world’s mightiest empires. At its peak, the Vijayanagara Empire covered a size that was larger than the Austrian empire. It was one of the richest empires of its time, which made foreign visitors wonder in awe, be it the architecture, the urban layouts or its immense wealth in diamonds and riches.”
― Ratnakar Sadasyula, City of Victory: The Rise and Fall of Vijayanagara

“For three centuries, the Vijayanagara Empire, stood like a mighty bulwark, protecting the Hindu dharma in the South and in the Deccan. It stood like a rock against the Muslim invasions that had ravaged and destroyed large parts of the North. Today it exists only in stones and stories, but its legacy would forever be remembered.”
