Vijayanagar Empire

The Vijayanagar Empire ruled in South India from 1336 until 1646 and left a lasting legacy of architecture, sculpture, and painting.

Vijayanagar sculpture can most commonly be seen in the reliefs, pillars, and monolithic statues of temples.

Painting in the Vijayanagar Empire, which evolved into the Mysore style of painting, is best illustrated in the elaborate wall paintings of temples.
