Portuguese Merchants Visit Part :1

The Portuguese merchants who were docked in the various shipyards had some free time to spend, as they had just placed their orders. Since the order they had placed was massive, they had to wait for a week at the least for the order to be fulfilled. When they were given a deadline of a week, they were skeptical, as the orders they had placed were huge in number and there was no way it could all be done in a week. so they took this opportunity to inspect the Vijayanagara workshops, craftsmanship, and the quality of the product, they also wanted to see how the Indians would produce the orders in such a short time.

All the Portuguese merchants formed a visiting group as it was suggested by Sir Thomas Costa.

"I hope you all enjoy your trip, gentlemen," Costa said as he led them into the capital of Vijayanagara, Hampi.
