💡 Solution & Explanation
The Battle of Talikota in 1565 CE saw the decimation of the Vijayanagara Empire by a coalition of four Deccan Sultanates, namely Bijapur, Ahmednagar, Golconda, and Bidar. Berar was notably absent from this confederacy due to ongoing geopolitical rivalries and shifts in regional alliances. This decisive battle marked the end of the golden age of Vijayanagara rule in southern India. Historians often emphasize this battle as a turning point for medieval South Indian polity.
