History
Hoysala empire : Manki was a part of Hoysala Empire from 1291 until 1343.
Early inscriptions, dated 1078 and 1090, have implied that the Hoysalas were ancestors of the Yadava by referring to the Yadava vamsa (clan) as Hoysala vamsa. But there are no early records directly linking the Hoysalas to the Yadavas of North India. The downfall of Hoysala resulted in the rise of another super power. Manki later fell into the hands of the Vijayanagara Empire.
Vijayanagara Empire : (established 1336 - 1646)
Vijayanagara Empire is referred as the Kingdom of Bisnaga by the Portuguese, it was an empire based in South India in the Deccan Plateau region. It was established in 1336 by Harihara I and his brother Bukka Raya I of the Yadava. The empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose impressive ruins surround modern Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in modern Karnataka, India.
Vijayanagara Empire dominated all of Southern India and fought off invasions from the five established Deccan sultanates. The empire reached its peak during the rule of Krishnadevaraya when Vijayanagara armies were consistently victorious. Krishnadevaraya was followed by Achyuta Raya in 1530 and in 1542 by Sadasiva Raya while the real power lay with Aliya Rama Raya, the son-in-law of Krishnadevaraya, whose relationship with the Deccan Sultans who allied against him has been debated.
The empire went into a slow decline regionally. Eventually the Saluva rulers (jain) of Hadwalli, a town on the State Highway leading to Jog Falls brought this desirable Village under their control.
