Manki (Kannada: ಮಂಕಿ) is a village in Honnavar Taluk, Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka State, India. It is located on the shore of the Arabian Sea and between Goa and Mangalore, about 100 km from Karwar. It lies on NH-66 running between Mumbai and Mangalore.
Apparently, it is the largest village in Karnataka and second largest village in India with dense forest and hefty mountains. Population consists of various castes and religions including Kannadigas, Sherugars, Nakhuda, Nawayath, and Christians.
When we go back to the history, the Nawayaths have the ancestry connection with Arabs and Persians, the traders who had set ashore here via Arabian Sea during Medieval times. Apart from that Manki has witnessed the emergence and downfall of numerous dynasties and rulers.
Manki was a part of Hoysala empire from 1291 until 1343.
Hoysala empire :
Early inscriptions, dated 1078 and 1090, have implied that the Hoysalas were ancestors of the Yadava by referring to the Yadava vamsa (clan) as Hoysala vamsa. But there are no early records directly linking the Hoysalas to the Yadavas of North India. The downfall of Hoysala resulted in the rise of another super power. Manki later fell into the hands of the Vijayanagara empire.
Vijayanagara Empire : (Established 1336 - 1646)*
Vijayanagara Empire is referred as the Kingdom of Bisnaga by the Portuguese, it was an empire based in South India in the Deccan Plateau region. It was established in 1336 by Harihara I and his brother Bukka Raya I of the YadavaThe empire is named after its capital city of Vijayanagara, whose impressive ruins surround modern Hampi, now a World Heritage Site in modern Karnataka, India.
Vijayanagara Empire dominated all of Southern India and fought off invasions from the five established Deccan Sultanates. The empire reached its peak during the rule of Krishnadevaraya when Vijayanagara armies were consistently victorious. Krishnadevaraya was followed by Achyuta Raya in 1530 and in 1542 by Sadashiva Raya while the real power lay with Aliya Rama Raya, the son-in-law of Krishnadevaraya, whose relationship with the Deccan Sultans who allied against him has been debated.
