Question

What was the name of the capital of VijayNagar?

Hint:

The empire and its capital city shared the same name.

Answer 1

Step 1: Distinguish empire name from city name: 'Vijayanagara' names both the empire (founded 1336 by Harihara and Bukka) and its capital city — the capital shared the empire's own name.

Step 2: Locate it: The capital sat on the Tungabhadra river, at the site now called Hampi.

Final Answer: Vijayanagara, on the Tungabhadra river (modern Hampi).
