Sadasiva Raya (1542–1570) was a ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire,[1] a powerful Southern Indian empire based in the Deccan region in 16th century India. When the Vijayanagara ruler Achyuta Raya, who was the younger brother of Krishnadevaraya, died in AD 1542, his son, Venkata I (Venkata Raya or Venkatadri Raya), succeeded him. He was killed six months later. Sadasiva Raya, who was the nephew (sister-in-law's son) of Achyuta Raya, became king according to the laws of Aliya Santana, which was prevalent among the Tuluvas. Sadasiva Raya, along with his minister Rama Raya, restored the Vijayanagara empire's power, which had diminished after the rule of Krishna Deva Raya. The strategy was to play the Deccan Sultanates against each other by first allying with one and then another.[2]
