The Amara-Nayaka system was a distinctive political and administrative feature of the Vijayanagara Empire (14th-16th centuries). In this system, the Vijayanagara rulers granted territories called ‘amaram’ to military commanders or governors known as ‘nayakas’ in exchange for tribute, troops, and loyalty.

– Nayakas were responsible for collecting taxes, maintaining law and order, and administering their assigned territories.
– This system helped the empire maintain a strong military and exert control over vast areas, but it also contributed to the eventual decentralization and weakening of central authority.

The Chola administration was known for its well-organized village self-governance and elaborate temple architecture. The Chalukyas ruled different parts of the Deccan at different times and had varying administrative structures. The Gupta Empire had a centralized administration with provincial governors and a system of feudatories (Samantas).
