I knew that Jayankondam town in Perambalur district is built by Rajendra Chola after some victory and its initial name was "Jayankonda cholapuram".
Recently only the name is reduced as "Jayankondam". But I dont know the story behind that town. Can anyone throw light on which victory made him to build that town ?
Jayankonda Cholan, was given to Great Raja Raja Cholan.
After the victory over Lakshadeep, Munneer Pazhantheevu Panneerayiram, Raja Raja Cholan assumed the Title of Jayankonda Cholan and the city is called Jayankonda Chola puram. I am not aware of who costructed it, but proximity to Gangai Konda Chola puram, indicates, it may be related to Rajendhra Cholan.
