Bukka Raya II (1363–after 1411) was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire from the Sangama Dynasty from 1404 until his deposition in 1406.
Biography After the death of Harihara II in 1404, the succession of the throne was disputed amongst his three sons: Virupaksha Raya, Bukka Raya II, and Deva Raya I and eventually changed hands amongst them. First, Virupaksha Raya managed to rule for a few months before he was murdered by his brothers. Bukka Raya II, who succeeded him as emperor, only reigned for a little more than two years before he was overthrown by his brother Deva Raya I who took the throne in September 1406. Nothing is known of him from 1406 until he made a failed attempt to retake the throne in 1411. After his failed attempt, he disappears from records.
