UPSC 2006: When Raja Wodeyar founded the kingdom of Mysore, who was the ruler of the Vijayanagar Empire?
(a)Sadasiva
(b)Tirumala
(c)Ranga II
(d)Venkata II
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Venkata II
Raja Wodeyar I asserted Mysore’s independence in 1610. At that moment the Vijayanagara throne was held by Venkatapati Raya, better known as Venkata II, whose reign lasted from 1586 to 1614. The other names (Sadasiva 1542-70, Tirumala 1570-72, Sriranga II 1614-15) do not coincide with 1610, so option (d) is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Wodeyar_I))
