| Vijaynagar Period, Solid Gold Ring, 15.67g, Krishnadevaraya Period, with telugu script 'Shri Krishna' on top, two sides depicts stylised standing posture of Lord Krishna playing flute and cow behind & floral wreath at bottom. Find spot near Hampi. Extremely Fine, Very Rare. Krishnadevaraya (IAST K?i?h?a Deva Raya) was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire who reigned from 1509–1529. He is the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana (lit, "Lord of the Kannada empire"), Andhra Bhoja and Mooru Rayara Ganda (lit, "King of three Kings"). He became the dominant ruler of the peninsula of India by defeating the Sultans of Bijapur, Golconda, the Bahmani Sultanate and the Raja of Odisha. The great south Indian mathematician Nilakantha Somayaji also lived in the Empire of Krishnadevaraya. He was one of the most powerful of all the Hindu rulers of India. Indeed, when the Mughal Babur was taking stock of the potentates of north India, Krishnadevaraya was rated the most powerful and had the most extensive empire in the subcontinent. |
