उत्तर
Advantages of enclosing agricultural land within a fortified area:-
- It had an elaborate canal system which drew water from the Tungabhadra to provide irrigation facilities.
- It enclosed agricultural tracts, cultivated fields, gardens and forests.
- This enclosure saved crops from being eaten by wild animals.
- In the medieval period, sieges were laid to starve the defending armies into submission. These sieges lasted for many months or many years. So the rulers of Vijayanagara adopted and elaborated a strategy to protect the agricultural belt and built large granaries.
