which literally means ''elephant pit'' in
Kannada is a small village in
Koppal district of
Karnataka state, located on the north banks of the
Tungabhadra River on the opposite bank of the Vittala Temple. Anegondi was famous for becoming the original capitol city of the
Vijayanagara Empire when
Mohammad Tughlaq ,
Sultan of
Delhi , defeated the King of Anegondi (Jambukeshwara Raya) and appointed Malik Nayab as his representative to rule over the city. During this time the brothers
Hakka and
Bukka organised a group following
Vidyaranya 's advice that successfully recaptured Anegondi without bloodshed by sneaking into the Anegondi fort and taking Malik Nayab prisoner while he was drunk. Later on, Hakka and Bukka (along with the help of
Vidyaranya ) would found the Vijayanagara Empire with Anegondi as its capital, though it was moved to nearby
Vijayanagara in northern
Karnataka as the empire continued to expand.
