The Vijayanagara Kings ruled in the name of Lord Virupaksha.

Virupaksha is the principal deity of the Virupaksha Temple in Hampi, which was the capital of the empire. The rulers considered themselves representatives or regents of the god.

Royal orders were often signed with the phrase “Sri Virupaksha”. While other deities like Vishnu (especially Vithoba, a form popular in the region) were also worshipped, Virupaksha was the state deity.
