History

Battle of Deoni

The Bahamani sulatane had an ambition to gain back the control of Raichur Doab from the vijaynagar empire and this dream was destroyed by King Krishnadeva raya of Vijaynagar in Deoni, a place near Udgir and Raichur.

The bahamani army consisted of 1,00,000 Bundelas, 1,00,000 Pindaris, 1,00,000 Muslims and a thousand elephants. This large army marched towards Vijayanagar. But this army was stopped at Deoni by Krishna Deva Raya’s army and were blocked in on two sides by a far bigger force consisting of 6,00,000 soldiers, 6,600 cavalry and two thousand elephants. The Bahmani Sultan was injured in hand to hand struggle and the Bahmani army retreated. The sultan finally succumbed to the injuries on 27-12-1518.

After 1518 the Sultanate formally broke up into five states: Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar, Qutb Shahi of Golconda (Hyderabad), Barid Shahi of Bidar, Imad Shahi of Berar, and Adil Shahi of Bijapur. They are collectively known as the Deccan Sultanates.
