Vijayanagara Empire
1377 AD - 1404 AD : Harihara Raya II
Devaraya was governing the eastern province of the Udayagiri rajya. Kalesvaram where Devaraya celebrated the festival of his digvijaya, was situated at the time in the territories of the Recherla Nayaks of Telingana. The cause of the expedition must be sought in the enmity that existed between them and the Rayas of Vijayanagara, on account of the former`s alliance with the Bahmani Sultans of Gulbarga, the hereditary foes of the Rayas.
