Nayaka dynasties emerged during the Kakatiya dynasty and the Vijayanagara Empire period. The Nayakas were originally military governors under the Vijayanagara Empire. After the battle of Talikota, several of them declared themselves independent.[1][2][3]
Many of them were balijas and had a common descent from the vasudeva, father of krishna (khāṃḍalavaṃśa lineage of chandravanshi rajputs). They are believed to be veerashaiva in faith. [4] [5] [6] [7]
