Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Emperor Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana (ಕನ್ನಡರಾಜ್ಯರಮಾರಮಣ), Mooru Rayara Ganda (ಮೂರುರಾಯರಗಂಡ (meaning King of three kings) and Andhra Bhoja (ఆంధ్రభోజ).

Remark: As usual the postal history was destroyed by the postal personnel here in Bhubaneswar by putting cross by pen over the FDC.It is a clear intention of thrashing philatelist and discoursing the great hobby.I do not have any word to say as I have tried all the steps to stop this kind of activities by India Post but all in vain.Next month they are doing International exhibition INDIPEX-2011 spending lot of tax payer's money but forgetting the basic training and procedure to their own staff and officers.This is India post.Thanks for reading my anger with patience.
