VIJAYANAGARA, THE FORGOTTEN EMPIRE
NAYAKAS OF CHITRADURGA
The former military personnel, Timmana Nayaka rose to the rank of Governor of Chitradurga as a reward for his excellence in military achievements, from the Vijayanagara ruler. His son Obana is known by the name Madhakari Nayaka. Madakari Nayaka's son Kasturi Rangappa succeeded him and consolidate the kingdom to rule peacefully . As he had no heirs to succeed him, his adopted son – the apparent heir was enthroned but got killed in few months by the Dalavayis.
Chikkanna Nayaka, the brother of Madakari Nayaka II sat on the throne in 1676, and his another brother succeeded him with the title Madakari Nayaka-III. The unwillingness of Dalawayis to accept Madakari Nayaka-III's rule gave an opportunity to one of the distant relation Bharamappa Nayaka to ascend the throne in 1689. Somehow, the subjects of Chitradurga did not experience a good reign of their rulers as they lived on the throne for very brief period. The Hiri Madakari Nayaka (1721 – 1748), Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka-II, Madakari Nayaka-IV succeeded one after him and there is nothing to mention of their rule.
During the reign of Madakari Nayaka, the city of Chitradurga was beseiged by the troops of Hyder Ali. A chance sighting of a woman entering the Chitradurga fort through a crack hole in the rocks led to a clever plan by Hyder Ali to send his soldiers through the crack hole. The defence guard on duty of the port near that crack hole had just gone home as usual asking his wife to guard till he is back from his lunch. The wife of that guard, Obavva while in her temporary seat, noticed the soldiers emerging out of this crack, Obavva was not perturbed. As she was carrying with her, the Onake (a wooden long club meant for pounding paddy grains) she killed and quietly moved the dead, so that hundreds of them entered and fell, without raising any suspicion. The guard, Obavva's husband, upon his return from his lunch was shocked to see Obavva standing with a blood stained Onake and hundreds of dead bodies of the enemy fleet around her. Though her sincere brave attempt saved the fort this time, Madakari could not resist the attack of 1799 by Hyder Ali. The fort of Chitradurga was lost for Hyder Ali once for all.
COINAGE
The Nayakas coinage does not have anything special to mention as they are mere copies of KrishnaDevaraya's pagodas. It could be due to lack of either empowerment to strike their own coinage or the demand for the popular Krishna Devaraya Pagodas. The obverse of the gold pagodas carried the same "seated Balakrishna with butter in his right hand", but enlarged to fit in the broader flan. The very appearance of it makes to think most of the numismatists as it is "Durgi". It could also be due to the fact that the breasts are shown much bigger than the stomach and also they were known as Durgi Pagodas (Durgi is probably due to the name [Chitra]Durga ).. The reverse carried the legend "Sri Pratapa Krishna Raya". Both one pagoda and half pagoda were issued by them. But the fanams bear the deformed Hoysala Shardula symbol on the obverse, but the reverse carried pellets, line and the legend Pra in three lines respectively. The copper coinage either was not much or unattaributable. Ruler : Nayakas of Chitradurga
