Arrange the following dynasties of Vijaynagara in chronological order, beginning with the earliest to the most recent.
(A) Aravidu
(B) Saluvas
(C) Sangama
(D) Tuluvas
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (B), (C), (A), (D) -> Places Saluvas before Sangama, which is incorrect as Sangama was the founding dynasty.
Option 2: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Correctly places Sangama (1336-1485) first, followed by Saluvas (1485-1505), then Tuluvas (1505-1570), and finally Aravidu (1570-1646).
Option 3: (B), (C), (D), (A) -> Places Saluvas before Sangama, which is incorrect as it reverses the first two dynasties.
Option 4: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> Incorrectly places Aravidu before Tuluvas, reversing the last two dynasties.
Hence, Option 2: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> The Vijayanagara Empire saw four ruling dynasties in succession: Sangama (founding dynasty established in 1336), Saluvas (who took power in 1485), Tuluvas (1505, during which Krishnadevaraya ruled), and Aravidu (1570, the last dynasty until 1646) -> correct
