After Vishnuvardhana conquered Talakadu, it was as though he and his troops came alive with a thirst for battle. In a span of two years, they embarked on a series of conquests that seemed almost insane for the little time it took. Even allowing for some epigraphical exaggeration, the military campaigns resulted in Vishnu occupying a good part of the Deccan.

Explore the rise of pre-teen military commanders like Bittiyanna and the growing ambition of the Hoysala dynasty, as they sought to assert their independence from the Chalukya Empire.

Ramjee Chandran analyses the impact of these military campaigns on the Hoysala dynasty, which solidified its position as a major power in the Deccan.
