Overview
The Kampili kingdom was a short-lived Hindu kingdom in the 14th century CE in South India. The kingdom existed near Ballari in the Tungabhadra river in the northeastern parts of the present-day Karnataka state, India. It was destroyed after a defeat by the armies of the Tughlaq dynasty and a Jauhar (mass war suicide by immolation) in 1327 CE when it faced a defeat. The Kampili kingdom in some historical accounts is called the Basnaga kingdom, and it is the kingdom which inspired and ultimately led to the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire.
