With the decision made by Emperor Vijay Devaraya, over the past two weeks, the demand for festive items and sports equipment like brass lamps, Sports jerseys, kabaddi mats, handmade jewelry, savory snacks, decorative rangoli powders, cricket bats, footballs, silk and cotton textiles, sports helmets, flour garlands, rugby balls, agarbatti, sweets, cricket balls, sports padding, and perfumes, has seen an unprecedented surge since the sports and decorative industries were established in the Bharatiya Empire only a few years ago. What is even more remarkable is that this demand is not only present in the state of Vijayanagar, currently the most developed state in the empire, but also in every state across the empire, including the extreme northwestern states like Lahore, Sindh, Baluchistan, Pashtun Pradesh, and as far northeast as Ahom and Bengal.
