The Battle of Talikota was a watershed battle fought between Vijayanagar, supported by (Hemu's kingdom), against the Deccan Sultanates of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur, Berar and Golkonda, resulted in a rout of the Deccan sultanates, and is marked as beginning of the end for Muslim resistance in South India. Although stategically inconclusive in the short term, it would mark the beginning of the decline of the Sultanates and would lead to eventual Vigaynagri hegemony over the whole region.
