Who was the founder Vijayanagara Empire?
Detailed Explanation:
The Vijayanagara Empire was founded in 1336 CE by brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I under the guidance of their guru Vidyaranya. They established the empire after declaring independence from the declining Hoysala dynasty.
Deva Raya I (1406–1422) and Krishnadeva Raya (1509–1529) were later rulers who expanded and strengthened the empire. Vira Narasimha Raya (1503–1509) founded the Tuluva dynasty within Vijayanagara but did not establish the empire itself.
Therefore, Harihara-Bukka were the founders, making Option 3 the correct answer.
