It’s the time to remember the Pattabisekham of one of the greatest rulers of South India – Sri Krishna Devaraya Rayalu. The 20 years of rule from 1509-1529 is considered as Golden era in Rayalaseema region. Not only did he spread his empire during this time in South India but also left an impact in the development/restoration of many temples, forts and historical places. Almost all major temples in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra and Kerala have been benefited under his rule. Arts and Literature was at its best during his regime. Not only he was spiritual and cultural, he was socially very conscious of farmers and common man. Many wells, canals and lakes were dug up or renovated and agriculture was given much prominence during his regime. Business flourished during his regime and import/export was done to other countries. Rayalaseema was called as “Ratnalaseema” where diamond, ruby and other precious gems were sold in the streets of Hampi. Just visiting the ruins of Hampi and places like Penukonda in Andhra Pradesh which was his second or summer capital will give the glimpse of his glorious days.
