Talk Rescheduled to 5.30 pm, Saturday, Jan 9th


The battle of Talikota fought between the forces of the mighty Vijayanagar empire and the combined armies of the Deccan Sultanates was a watershed event in history, changing the political map of South India forever.  The battle was fought on January 23, 1565.
 
In her talk, Hampi: The Rise, The Glory and the Fall of Vijayanagar, popular historian Dr Chithra Madhavan, will trace the rapid rise of the Vijayanagar empire and then take us on a tour of Hampi, the capital, to show us the marvels of the religious and secular architecture of the period.  She will conclude with a summary of the factors that led to the battle of Talikota and the subsequent decline of one of India's greatest empires.
