Krishnadevaraya: the Epic Story of Medieval India’s Greatest King
Krishnadevaraya ranks among India's greatest kings -- by the end of his life he remained undefeated on the battlefield, and had built the Vijayanagara Empire up to the apex of its power and prosperity. Even more fascinating: he was a low-caste king, with perpetual "underdog" status.
Welcome to his amazing, larger-than-life story.
For more on Vijayanagara, check out our other video here: ruclips.net/video/NtvepHA4Pfo/видео.html
Special thanks to Srinivas Reddy for his excellent new book on Krishnadevaraya: "Raya"
