HAKKA-BUKKA |

The
Savior
After this glorious victory, Kampana became the Governor of the Southern Province of the
Vijayanagar Empire. He had under his rule a vast area in the south upto Rameswaram.
Virinchipuram or Marakatanagar on the banks of the Kaveri was his capital. The Bangalore
and Kolar Districts of today were also under his rule.
Worship was resumed in the temples. People could freely move about, go on pilgrimage and
worship God according to their faiths. Under the Sultan's officers, the Hindus could not
even breathe freely. But now they could live happily as free men. They did not have to
live in fear of sudden disaster. There was peace everywhere. Kampana achieved in the south
what Hakka and Bukka had achieved in the north. |
