'''Harihara II''' (1342–1404 CE) was an emperor of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] from the [[Sangama Dynasty]].<ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=103–106}}</ref> He patronised [[Kannada]] poet Madhura, a [[Jainism|Jaina]]. An important work on [[Vedas]] was completed during his time. He earned the titles ''Vaidikamarga Sthapanacharya'' and ''Vedamarga Pravartaka''.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
He became ruler when [[Bukka|Bukka Raya I]] died in 1377 and ruled till his death in 1404. He was succeeded by [[Virupaksha Raya]].<br />
<br />
During his reign, he continued to extend the kingdom's territory through fighting against the Reddis of [[Kondavidu]] for control of the [[Coastal Andhra|Andhra]] between [[Nellore]] and [[Odisha|Kalinga]]. From the Reddis of Kondavidu, Harihara II conquered the [[Addanki]] and [[Srisailam]] areas as well as most of the territory between the peninsula to the south of the river [[Krishna]], which would eventually lead to fights in [[Telangana]] with the Velamas of [[Rachakonda]]. Harihara II took advantage of the death of Mujahid Bahmani in 1378 and extended his control into the northwest, controlling such ports as [[Goa]], [[Chaul]], and [[Dabhol]].<br />
<br />
Harihara II ruled from the capital [[Vijayanagara]] now more popularly known as [[Hampi]]. What is believed to be the ruins of Harihara's palace is located among the Hampi ruins.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hampi.in/palace-of-vira-harihara.shtml|title=Palace of Vira Harihara|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100621072139/http://www.hampi.in/palace-of-vira-harihara.shtml|archive-date=21 June 2010|df=dmy-all}}</ref><br />
