The Battle of Madurai was fought in 1343 at Madurai, India. The battle was fought between the forces of the great Hoysala monarch Veera Ballala III and the Sultan of Madurai, Ghiyas-ud-Din. The brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, the founders of the famous Vijayanagara Empire served the Hoysala king Veera Ballala III as governors of the Northern Hoysala territories. They were too busy fighting battles in the north, and couldn't support the Hoysala army in the South. The battle came out as the victory of Ghiyasuddin. Ballala III was captured and killed. This led to the end of Hoysala Dynasty.[1][4][5][2]
