Madurai, the former Pandyan capital, having fallen into the hands of the invading armies of the Delhi Sultanate in the 1340s, the Pandyas seek the help of the recovering Hindu state of Vijayanagar.

After liberating Madurai from more than four decades of oppressive Muslim rule, making all India south of the Kristna River Hindu, the Vijayanagar kingdom appoints Nayak governors to rule from Madurai.
