1507 in India
The year 1507 marked a significant period in Indian history characterized by the rise of regional powers and increased European exploration. During this time, the flourishing Vijayanagara Empire in South India witnessed territorial expansion under the leadership of King Krishnadevaraya, who is celebrated for his patronage of arts and architecture. Concurrently, the arrival of Portuguese explorer Afonso de Albuquerque in India heralded the beginnings of European colonial interests in the Indian Ocean. Albuquerque's establishment of maritime trade routes laid the groundwork for Portuguese dominance in the region. Additionally, this year witnessed the ongoing interactions between various Indian states and the Mughals, setting the stage for future political dynamics and cultural exchanges that would shape India's history.
