The Vijayanagara empire was extremely wealthy. The richness and magnificence of the Vijayanagara empire have been attributed by foreign visitors. For more than two centuries and fifty years, the Vijayangara empire was prosperous. It was Hindu culture's rescuer. The expansion of trade, industry, agriculture, and commerce was the main driver of the Vijayanagara empire's wealth. The state adopted a sensible irrigation strategy. Additionally, the state promoted industries. Inland, coastal, and international trade existed. The most significant port on the Malabar coast was Calicut. The Vijayanagara empire had up to 300 seaports, if Abdul Razak is to be believed. Portugal, China, Arabia, Persia, South Africa, Burma, the Malaya archipelago, the Indian Ocean islands, and Abyssinia all have trading ties. Cloth, rice, iron, salt, pepper, sugar, and spices were among the goods exported by the Vijayanagara empire. Horses, elephants, pearls, copper, coral, mercury, silk, and velvet from China were among the imports. The empire's currency consisted of gold, copper, and silver. They featured symbols of various animals and deities. Because the kingdom was independent during the Vijayanagara era, imports were far lower than exports.
