Harihara II (1377-1404) suceeded Bukka Raya as king of the Vijayanagara Empire and was infamous for conquering almost all of Southern India. During his reign, Harihara II continued to extend the kingdom's territory through fighting against the Reddis of Kondavidu for control of the coastal Andhra between Nellore and Kalinga. From the Reddis of Kondavidu, Harihara II conquered the Addanki and Srisailam areas as well as most of the territoy between the penninsula to the south of the river Krishna, which would eventually lead to fights in Telanga with the Velamas of Rachakonda. In order to counter Harihara IIs attacks, Rachakonda recieved aid from the Bahamis which would prevent Harihara II from continuing his campaign into Telanga. In the end, the Vijayanagara Empire had extended its control into the northwest, controlling such ports as Goa, Chaul, and Dabhol, as well as facing an increase in the economy.

HariharaIIHariharaII (1377-1404) was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire from the Sangama Dynasty.
HariharaII succeeded Bukka Raya as king of the Vijayanagara Empire and was famous for conquering almost all of Southern India.
From the Reddis of Kondavidu, HariharaII 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.
By 1374 Bukka Raya I, successor to Harihara I, had defeated the chiefdom of Arcot, the Reddy dynasty of Kondavidu, the Sultan of Madurai and gained control over Goa in the west and the Tungabhadra-Krishna River doab in the north.
It was later moved to nearby Vijayanagara on the river's southern banks during the reign of Bukka Raya I. With the Vijayanagara Kingdom now imperial in stature, HariharaII, the second son of Bukka Raya I, further consolidated the kingdom beyond the Krishna River and brought the whole of South India under the Vijayanagara umbrella.
Tirumala Deva Raya was succeeded by his son Sriranga I later followed by Venkata II who made Chandragiri his capital, repulsed the invasion of the Bahmani Sultanate and saved Penukonda from being captured.
