Polemics and Patronage in the City of Victory: Vyasatirtha, Hindu Sectarianism, and the Sixteenth-Century Vijayanagara Court - South Asia Across the Disciplines
Valerie Stoker
How did the patronage activities of India's Vijayanagara Empire (c. 1346-1565) influence Hindu sectarian identities? The author argues that the Vijayanagara court was selective in its patronage of religious institutions. She focuses on the career of the Hindu intellectual and monastic leader Vyasatirtha.
