Madakari Naya was the last ruler of Chitraduraga. His period of ruling was believed to be best but full of wars. From the south, Hyder Ali of Mysore made a drama of friendship with Madakari Nayaka and won the Nijagal fort from Marathas, but later Hyder-Ali's eyes fell on Chitraduraga. However, while Hyder-Ali was alive this did not happen. His son Tipu Sultan made it possible by defeating Madakari Nayaka.
