errors on Chola History
  • Dear Sirs,

    We would like to bring to your notice the error in the document on the
    Brahadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur.

    In your information it states that the temple was built by Rajaraja
    Chola founder of the chola kingdom.This information is wrong.

    The Chola kings ruled that part of Tamil nadu from the Sangam period
    50BC to 400 AD and declined in power.

    It was revived in 8th Century by Vijayalaya Chola who founded the
    mediaval Chola and ruled from Thanjavur.
    He was Suceeded by Aditha Chola
    Paranthaka Chola I who donated the Golded roof to the the Chidambaram
    Temple
    Followed by Gandiratthitha Chola who was suceeded by PranthakaChola II
    Rajaraja was his son.......

    All the manes mentioned above are historical facts....It is true
    Rajaraja took the empire to great heights followed by the zenith of the
    empire under his son Rajendra's Rule but he is not the founder of the
    dynasty.

    That would be distortion of history

    We would be Grateful if this could be amended by removing
    the....founder of the chola kingdom phrase

    Thank you

    yours sincerely

    It is indeed a great privilage for any tamilian to see tamil art and heritage acknowledged to its value but at the same time it would also be the correct information.

    With a Tamilian at the helm of Information ministry it would not be right to have incorrect information.

    We will be very grateful if you could kindly augment the correction and changes
    Thanking you Sir

    yours sincerely
