Tuluva is the name of the third dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire.[1][2] The dynasty traces its patrilineal ancestry to Tuluva Narasa Nayaka, a powerful warlord from the westerly Tulu speaking region.[3] His son Narasimha Nayaka arranged for the assassination of the weak Narasimha Raya II bringing an end to the rule of the Saluva dynasty.[3] Narasimha Nayaka later assumed the Vijayangara throne as Viranarasimha Raya bringing the Tuluva dynasty to prominence.[3] The dynasty was at its zenith during the rule of Krishnadevaraya, the second son of Tuluva Narasa Nayaka.

History
A Sanskrit epigraph on the eastern wall of Tirumala temple describes the genealogy of Krishnadevaraya.[3] The first ancestor of the Tuluva lineage to be mentioned is Timmabhupati and his wife Devaki.[3] Timmabhupati is followed by his son Ishvara and consort Bukkamma and then a certain Narasa Bhupala who is none other than Tuluva Narasa Nayaka, the father of Emperor Krishnadevaraya.[3] The powerful warlord Tuluva Narasa Nayaka is attributed with the conquest of the Gajapatis as well as certain Muslim rulers.[3]
Krishnadevaraya a Tulu speaker himself was noted to be linguistically neutral as he ruled a multilingual empire.[4] He is known to have patronised poets and issued inscriptions in languages as varied as Sanskrit, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu.[4] However, he elevated Telugu as a royal language possibly because of the dominance of Telugu speaking chiefs and composed the epic poem Amuktamalyada in it.[4] Tuluva rulers were staunch Vaishnavas and patronised Vaishnavism.[5] Vyasatirtha, a Kannadiga Dvaita saint was the Kulaguru of Krishnadevaraya.[6]
The fall of the Tuluva dynasty led to the beginning of the disintegration of the Vijayanagar empire.[citation needed]
