Welcome back to Ithihasa Indic History Podcast!

This is the 1st episode of 2022 and the Episode 52 of the Season Vijayanagara.

Loyal Listeners who have been asking me, your wait is finally over.

Let us pick up where we left in December of 2021.

We had ended the previous episode with the conquest of the Udayagiri fortress by the Vijayanagara Army after a lengthy siege and fighting off the dogged resistance of the gallant forces of the Gajapati Army.

In this episode, we shall continue the military campaign of the Great Raya from where we left off in the last.

The fall of Udayagiri did not satisfy the Vijayanagara Emperor understandably.

Now that he had tasted success against his arch-rival Prataparudra, Krishna DevaRaya wanted to push the dagger even deeper.
