{{Vijayanagara empire}}'''Harihara I''', also called '''Hakka''' and '''Vira Harihara I''', was the founder of the [[Vijayanagara Empire]], which he ruled from 1336 to 1356 CE.<ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=103–106}}</ref> He and his successors formed the [[Sangama Dynasty|Sangama dynasty]], the first of four dynasties to rule the empire. He was the eldest son of [[Bhavana Sangama]],<ref name="sen2"/>
The early life of Hakka and his brother [[Bukka Raya I|Bukka]] is relatively unknown and most accounts are based on various [[speculative]] theories. Ballappa Dandanayaka, a nephew of the [[Hoysala Empire|Hoysala]] ruler [[Veera Ballala III]], had married a daughter of Harihara.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.karnataka.gov.in/gazetteer/GazetteerMandya2009/Chapter-2.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-10-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531200248/http://www.karnataka.gov.in/gazetteer/GazetteerMandya2009/Chapter-2.pdf |archive-date=31 May 2011}}</ref> This shows that Harihara was associated with the Hoysala Court. Immediately after coming to power, he built a fort at [[Barkur]]u, on the west coast of present-day [[Karnataka]]. It appears from inscriptions that he was administering the northern parts of present-day [[Karnataka]] from his seat at [[Gooty Fort|Gooty]] (Gutti), [[Anantapur district|Ananthpur district]] in 1339. He initially controlled the northern portions of the [[Hoysala Empire]] before taking full control over its entire range after the death of Hoysala [[Veera Ballala III]] in 1343. [[Kannada]] inscriptions of his time call him ''Karnataka Vidya Vilas'' ("master of great knowledge and skills"), ''Bhashege tappuva rayara ganda'' ("punisher of those feudatories who don't keep their promise"), ''and Arirayavibhada'' ("fire to enemy kings"). After the King of [[Warangal]] was defeated by [[Muhammad bin Tughlaq]], Bukka and his brother were taken prisoners and sent to Delhi, where they both converted to Islam.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wagoner |first=Phillip B. |date=1996 |title="Sultan among Hindu Kings": Dress, Titles, and the Islamicization of Hindu Culture at Vijayanagara |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2646526 |journal=The Journal of Asian Studies |volume=55 |issue=4 |pages=851–880 |doi=10.2307/2646526 |issn=0021-9118}}</ref> Among his brothers, Kampana governed the [[Nellore|Nellur]] region, Muddppa administered the [[Mulbagal|Mulabagalu]] region, Marappa oversaw [[Chandragutti]] and Bukka Raya was his second in command.
