The founding of Bengaluru is a period of history "deceptively difficult to reconstruct," relying on fragmentary evidence from local documents. Ramjee Chandran details Kempe Gowda's comprehensive strategy to found the Bengaluru Pete, overcoming a period "almost entirely without reliable records." The blueprint leveraged geography for success, starting with the defensive shield of the Navadurgas and the natural convergence of trade routes. He secured vital resources by integrating territories like Domlur and Ulsoor to ensure predictable food and water supply. Despite receiving imperial permission from Achyuta Raya, Vijayanagara policy dictated a critical constraint: he was only allowed to build a functional mud fort, revealing the empire's lingering fear of revolt.
