💡 Solution & Explanation
The Battle of Talikota in 1565 witnessed a formidable coalition of four Deccan Sultanates, namely Bijapur, Golconda, Ahmadnagar, and Bidar, deliver a decisive defeat to Vijayanagara. Berar stayed away from this confederacy due to prior political rivalries with Ahmadnagar. This historical watershed permanently crippled the imperial dominance of Vijayanagara in southern peninsular India.
