History of Achyuta Raya Temple, Hampi
Achyuta Deva Raya (1529-1542) was a king from the Vijayanagar kingdom of South India. Younger to King Krishna Deva Raya whom he succeeded in 1529, he was known as a lover of literary works and music, he patronized the Chatu Vittalanatha (talented Kannada Poet), the great composer Purandaradasa and the Rajanatha Dindima (the great Sanskrit scholar).
Although when Achyuta Raya became a king it was not an easy task for him, peace and prosperity of the happy days of Krishna Deva Raya rule was coming to an end. Feudations and enemies were waiting for an opportunity to bring the kingdom down. Some of Nuniz works speak of Achyuta Raya as being a king given to vices and cruelty, there is enough evidence to prove he is a noteworthy and noble king and fought hard to keep up the prosperity and legacy of the kingdom alive. Two noted books were written about the kings life they are Achyutabhyudayam and Varadambikaparinavam to describe the kings life in detail.
