To my parents, Gnanavalli and Pradhaban Here are a few excerpts of the feedback I have received from fans throughout the world: I am very touched by your page dedicated to Dr. Govindarajan. He was one of the icons of Tamil classical music that I admired. The fact that he was once the Dean of a Faculty in Annamalai (which I had been unaware of till today) only increases my opinion of him. I used to live near "Sirkali"'s house in Mandavellipakkam (I lived in 3rd trust link street) and was very saddended by his untimely death. Thaths Great Work Balaji, Muthu & Family Hi Balaji, Ramesh Dear Balaji, Tamil dynasty of South India This article is about the Chola Dynasty. For the medieval empire, see Chola Empire. The Chola dynasty (Tamil:[t͡ʃoːɻɐr]) was a Tamil dynasty originating from Southern India. At its height, it ruled over the Chola Empire, an expansive maritime empire. The earliest datable references to the Chola are from inscriptions dated to the 3rd century BCE during the reign of Ashoka of the Maurya Empire. The Chola empire was at its peak and achieved imperialism under the Medieval Cholas in the mid-9th century CE. As one of the Three Crowned Kings of Tamilakam, along with the Chera and Pandya, the dynasty continued to govern over varying territories until the 13th century CE. The heartland of the Cholas was the fertile valley of the Kaveri River. They ruled a significantly larger area at the height of their power from the latter half of the 9th century till the beginning of the 13th century. They unified peninsular India south of the Tungabhadra River and held the territory as one state for three centuries between 907 and 1215 CE. Under Rajaraja I and his successors Rajendra I, Rajadhiraja I, Rajendra II, Virarajendra, and Kulothunga Chola I, the empire became a military, economic and cultural powerhouse in South Asia and Southeast Asia. There is very little written evidence for the Cholas before the 7th century CE. The main sources of information about the early Cholas are ancient Tamil literature of the Sangam period (c. 600 BCE), oral traditions, religious texts, temple and copperplate inscriptions. Later medieval Cholas also claimed a long and ancient lineage. The Cholas are mentioned in Ashokan Edicts (inscribed 273 BCE–232 BCE) as one of the Mauryan empire's neighbours to the South (Ashoka Major Rock Edict No.13), who, thought not subject to Ashoka, were on friendly terms with him. There are also brief references .
