Three Strands of History: Vijayanagara, the Mysore Royals, and the Kempe Gowdas (1433-1513 AD)

Ramjee Chandran weaves together the intertwined histories of Vijayanagara, the Mysore Wadiyars, and the Kempe Gowdas during a period of significant change. Explore the grandeur of Vijayanagara, the political machinations of Deva Raya II, and the shifting power dynamics in the Deccan.

Delve into the early lineage of the Wadiyars, the legends and realities of their rise, and the consolidation of the Kempe Gowda clan. Witness the decline of the Sangama dynasty and the rise of the Tuluvas, setting the stage for Krishnadeva Raya's reign and the eventual founding of Bangalore.

This episode examines how these three strands of history shaped the destiny of the Mysore Deccan.
