Krishnadevaraya takes Raichur
1520 – present · 📍 Raichur
Krishnadeva Raya’s reign was one of expansion: the Raichur doab between the Tungabhadra and Krishna rivers was acquired (1512), the rulers of Orissa were subdued (1514) and severe defeats were inflicted on the Sultan of Bijapur (1520).
What it led to: Vijayanagara won the Raichur doab from Bijapur.
