  • Board Games from the City of Vijayanagara (Hampi), 1336-1565: a Survey and a Study / Rangachar Vasantha
    Board games from the city of Vijayanagara (Hampi), 1336-1565: a survey and a study / Rangachar Vasantha ustere and grandiose Hampi is the site of the last capital of the last great Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagara, whose rich kings built Dravidian temples and palaces, Awhich won the admiration of travelers between the 14th and 16th centuries. Conquered by the Muslims in 1565, the city was pillaged over a period of six months, and then abandoned. The greater parts of the more interesting buildings are situated in the citadel or inner- most line of fortifications and also along the roadside to Hampi. The crowded buildings hint at the centuries-old heritage of the village, for it is some 450 years since Hampi’s grandeur came to an end as the center of the Vijayanagara Empire. The present day vil- lage preserves the ancient order while its inhabitants reap the benefits of being a living example of old peaceful ways. The Mohammedan invasion and especially the employ- ment of Mohammedan troops by the Vijayanagara kings led to Saracenic features being adopted in some of the buildings in their capital, producing an Indian version of that style known as Indo-Saracenic. The Vijayanagar capital was probably at first situated at Anegundi on the northern bank of the Tungabhadra river nearly opposite the present hamlet of Hampi. As the empire grew in size and power, the capital was moved to the southern bank of the river and Anegundi was retained as a fortified suburb or outpost. The cultural remains of the imperial city of Vijayanagara now spread over a vast area of about 25 km covering several modern villages, while the outer lines of its fortifications include still a larger area.
