Kampili kingdom

[1][2] The kingdom existed near Ballari and Tungabhadra river in northeastern parts of the present-day Karnataka state, India.

[5] The founder of the kingdom was a Hoysala commander, Singeya Nayaka-III (1280–1300 AD), who declared independence after the Muslim forces of the Delhi Sultanate defeated and captured the territories of the Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri in 1294 CE.

The Kampili kingdom fell to the invasion in 1327/28 CE from the north by the forces of Muhammad bin Tughluq, the Sultan of Delhi.

[1] The army led by Malik Zada sent the news of its victory over Kampili kingdom to Muhammad bin Tughluq in Delhi by sending a straw-stuffed severed head of the dead Hindu king.

[3] The Vijayanagara Empire emerged in 1336 CE from the remains of the kingdom, which ruled Southern India for over 200 years.

Shiva temple on Hemakuta hill in Hampi was built by Kampili Raya , ruler of the Kampili Kingdom.
