ABSTRACT: The people and kings of Vijayanagara gave too much prominence to the minutest details of public or private conduct is to be traced to their inherent orthodox nature. What appears to foreigners as pagan formalities were really indispensable ceremonials to the Hindus, who were under the abiding influence of their classical doctrines. Most of the charitable activities were conducted by the Vijayanagara rulers, other royal family members, merchants, rich individuals etc. They made rich endowments for conducting educational activities, religious, construction of tanks for irrigation and drinking water and other charitable activities. They were always accompanied with the great scholars and royal priests, who were always guide to the rulers to conduct such activities. We can have a large number of such instances in the inscriptions, by which they pleased their gods in view to establish peace, law and order and prosperity in the state.
