Raja Krishnadevaraya : A Great Architecture and Temple lover 

Vijayanagara kings were great builders of temples and patrons of arts and architecture. Building of large temples started particularly during the times of Devaraya II and climaxed during the reign of Raja Krishnadevaraya. Temples and other buildings constructed during the Vijayanagara era had distinctive architectural embellishments, usually referred as the “Vijayanagara style.” There was a strong influence of early chola and late pandya tradition in its temples.

Percy Brown says, “The country gradually became enriched with buildings in a style showing that the people had been aroused to a life of greater fullness and one which moved them to express with marked freedom and fluency their aesthetic aspirations. The architectural trends of the Vijayanagara style peaked during Raja Krishnadevaraya’s reign. He took fanatical interest in reconstructing and enhancing old and damaged temples all over South India apart from building several large and beautiful temples in the capital city.

Raja Krishnadevaraya in his Amuktamalyada says that a king ould maintain scientists in his court. Rayavachakamu signifies the Raya’s court attended by learned men, purohits, acharyas, jiyangars, ascetics, astrologers, physicians, scientists etc. Krishnadevaraya feel that the responsibility of the scientists to safe guard the society and at the same time, he expected them to be self less in public service and committed to their investigations for the promotion of Scientific Knowledge.
