Awesome article Hauma, really brings out the horrors of that fateful day, makes you think of many what if's that have no place now. I read that Tirumala returned and tried to repopulate the city?
Eagerly awaiting the next chapter but doing some reading on links, i am travelling to India after long while and will definetly be visiting Vijayanagar and hope to take a bunch of photographs and upload to the site. Perhaps we can add a few to the above to see how much destruction took place and what has actually survived.
Would be nice to have a India Forum photo gallery of the place and some history captions below each image. An idea?
Some further links :
