They are one of the longest ruling dynasties of the southern India. Learn about the Cholas and their empire with this animated video.
This is the story about the Chola Dynasty which is believed to have originated from the fertile valley of the river Kaveri. By the turn of the 8th century, there were three prominent Kingdoms of the South, the Cheras, the Pandyas and the Cholas who were considered to be the most powerful of the three.
The year 985 saw one of the greatest kings of Southern India ascend the throne, Rajaraja Chola I also known as Rajaraja, the Great, who defeated the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi, the Pandyas of Madurai and the Gangas of Mysore. His campaign of expansion included the capture of Sri Lanka, which remained under the Chola rule for 75 years. He also conquered the islands of the Maldives and even sent missions to Indonesia.
Being an able administrator and a great lover of architecture, he commissioned the building of the magnificent temple of Tanjore. The temple is named ‘Rajarajeshwar’ after him.

Bharat Ek Khoj—The Discovery of India
A Production of Doordarshan, the Government of India’s Public Service Broadcaster
Episode 22: The Chola Empire, Part I
With Om Puri as Raja Raja Chola, Devendra Malhotra as Ishanashiva, Sunila Pradhan as Mahadevi Lalit Tiwari as Architect, Shantanu Chaparia as Tirumala, Mahendra Raghuvanshi as Kirukadikilan, Preeta Mathur as Umadevi, Murari Sharma as Singer, and Vijay Chibbar and Mohan Kant as the Traders. Playback by S.R. Venkatesh, Rajan Easwaran, Sharad Jambhekar, jolly Mukherjee, Hemant Kulkarni, V. Saraswathi, and T. Raghu.
Nehru observes that in South India, after a lapse of 1000 years after the Mauryan empire collapsed, there were great states like the Chalukya Empire in the west followed by the Rashtrakutas. Further south were the Pallavas who were mainly responsible for the colonising expeditions from India in the eastern seas. Later came the Chola Empire that spread right across the peninsula and conquered Sri Lanka and Southern Burma. King Mahendra Varman of the Pallava dynasty adopted the Vedic religion and promoted religious consciousness by building temples and settling Brahmins with gifts of land. Trade and commerce flourished with more than 500 businessmen allowed to form a guild. Of the Chola dynasty Raja Raja Chola was contemporaneous with the Turk invasions in the north but was buffered by the Rashtrakutas. The Chola dynasty continued their sway over the eastern seas and their ships carried merchandise to distant countries.
The story of building the mighty Brihadisvara temple is presented, albeit based on scant historical information. Raja Raja Chola has ruled in Tamil Nadu for sixteen years, yet the mystery of the murder of his uncle and predecessor, Uttam Chola, has not been solved. Blame is laid on his cousin Sundara Chola, who has taken refuge in the neighbourhood kingdom of Chera. The king, after his death, confiscates his family property within the Tamil territory. Throughout all this, ‘Rajmata’, the arch aunt-queen, strongly suspects Raja Raja to be guilty of uncle’s murder and usurping the throne. To get rid of this suspicion the king offers to build a temple to commemorate Uttam Chola at a site of Rajmata’s choice.
An unexpected gift arrives from the far-away king of the Shailendra dynasty of Kamboj (Cambodia), with a model of a temple that commemorates the king himself. The idea germinates in Raja Raja’s mind: why not build a temple, unparalleled in history, which would carry his own name? A secret plan is hatched away from the knowledge of ‘Rajmata’ to employ the best of architects and sculptors and even to bring in the finest of singers and dancers for performing in the temple. He would also build a flourishing city of Tanjavur all around the temple. The project is pressed on, regardless of all opposition, including an incipient rebellion.

South India was ruled by the Cholas for a long time and these kings were known for their good governance and love for art, architecture and literature. They fostered the growth of all three and we find many marvelous temples and forts have been built during their reign. Tamil as a language also gained prominence during this period and a number of poets and learned men adorned the courts of these kings. A number of discussions on topics of interest were discussed and scholars from other kingdoms were invited to these discussions popularly named as Sangams .Along with the Cheras and Pandyas who also ruled South India these rulers were given the credit for having popularized the Tamil language. This video is an insight into their rule.

Rajaraja Chola I (Tamil: ராஜ ராஜ சோழன்} born Arulmozhi varman),(also called as Arunmozhi Thevar and respectfully as Periya Udayar), popularly known as Raja Raja the Great, is one of the greatest emperors of the Tamil Chola Empire who ruled between 985 and 1014 CE. He established the Chola empire by conquering the kingdoms of southern India expanding the Chola Empire as far as Sri Lanka in the south, and Kalinga (Orissa) in the northeast. He fought many battles with the Chalukyas in the north and the Pandyas in the south. By conquering Vengi, Rajaraja laid the foundations for the Later Chola dynasty. He invaded Sri Lanka and started a century-long Chola occupation of the island.
He streamlined the administrative system with the division of the country into various districts and by standardizing revenue collection through systematic land surveys. Raja Raja Chola was also known as Rajaraja Sivapada Sekhara (he who had the feet of Lord Shiva as his crown).Being an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, he built the magnificent Peruvudaiyar Temple (also known as the Brihadeeswarar Temple) in Thanjavur and through it enabled wealth distribution amongst his subjects. His successes enabled his son Rajendra Chola I to extend the empire even further.

In this video, I am gonna show you my search for the grave of the Indian King Raja Raja. I was told that his tombstone lies in the small village of Udayalur. This is where he is rumored to have been buried or cremated.
When I visited this place, I was surprised to see a lingam which is about 2 feet tall and this elderly gentleman told me that the rest of the structure is buried underneath about 14 feet deep. It is a rather simple lingam with a diameter of only one and a half feet. He says this Lingam is the tombstone of Raja Raja. I asked him if he knew how Raja Raja died, and he told me he died naturally of old age and was cremated right here. Why would a great king have such a small, anonymous grave? You can see there are no inscriptions, no other carvings on this lingam or anywhere in this site. Remember, Raja Raja built the greatest temple in India which is now declared a world heritage site and his accomplishments and other information are inscribed all over the walls in many temples. So, I asked this gentleman, if there is any evidence to prove that this is in fact Raja Raja's grave.
He told me there used to be a pillar here and it was donated to a temple called Paalkulathu amman temple, a few miles away. He said that this pillar has inscriptions which proves that Raja Raja died here.
So, I decided to travel to this temple and take a look at this pillar myself. As soon as I reached the temple, I immediately spotted the pillar. The pillar does contain the word "RajaRaja" so it is obviously related to the King, but I was not able to completely understand what the inscription said. So, I took a lot of pictures and copied the entire writings on a scratchpad.
I contacted an epigraphist, who was able to tell me exactly what was written in this pillar. I've posted the entire inscription and it's translation on my website phenomenalplace.com and you can take a look at it if you are interested. I double checked this information with another expert as well.
What the inscription says is that "the Royal Palace of Raja Raja Chola was renovated by 4 people". The inscription includes those 4 names and that is all the information we see on this pillar. The inscription has no reference to the death or grave of the King at all. This shows that the site of this lingam is probably not Raja Raja's grave and there is no actual evidence to claim so.
This raises the question of what happened to Raja Raja, how did he die? Where did his funeral take place? Think a moment, there are hundreds of inscriptions about Raja Raja's accomplishments, how he conquered various territories, how he built the great temple and even when he was born. But there is no information whatsoever about when or how he died and where he was buried or cremated.
So I decided to go back to Thanjavur to find out more about his death. I contacted several archeologists and they told me that the only reason why a King's death would not recorded is if the King died an unnatural death. So, if a King committed suicide or was murdered, then the ancient Tamils would not record that.
I spoke to a lot of locals in Thanjavur to see if anyone knew how he died. The locals tell a very different, but consistent story. It turns out that Raja Raja was actually murdered by a woman from Sri Lanka. Let's hear what this gentleman says. In 993 A.D, Raja Raja conquered half of Sri Lanka and the defeated King Mahinda V fled to the south, to avoid being captured. Unable to defeat Raja Raja in the battlefield, King Mahinda sent a Buddhist woman from Sri Lanka who slowly got into the inner circle of Raja Raja. When Raja Raja was standing on the 8th floor inspecting the progress of the Big Temple, she simply pushed him down. This fall killed him instantly.
People claim this is why the temple was not properly finished and his son created a whole new capital in a different city because he thought that this was a cursed place. This story also explains why his son Rajendra Chola went after Sri Lanka with a vengeance, conquering the entire island. He then found King Mahinda who was hiding, brought him back and kept him as a lifelong prisoner. Mahinda V died in prison around 1029 A.D. Although this story explains why there is no record of Raja Raja's death or his tomb, again, I have to point out that I don't have any actual evidence to prove this. So, my quest for Raja Raja's grave and the nature of his death remains incomplete but I'm gonna keep searching. I hope you liked this video, I am Praveen Mohan. Thank you for watching and talk to you soon.

Chola dynasty
The Chola dynasty (Tamil: சோழர்) was one of the longest-ruling dynasties in the history of southern India. The earliest datable references to this Tamil dynasty are in inscriptions from the 3rd century BCE left by Asoka, of the Maurya Empire. As one of the Three Crowned Kings, the dynasty continued to govern over varying territory until the 13th century CE.
The heartland of the Cholas was the fertile valley of the Kaveri River, but they ruled a significantly larger area at the height of their power from the later half of the 9th century till the beginning of the 13th century. The whole country south of the Tungabhadra was united and held as one state for a period of two centuries and more. Under Rajaraja Chola I and his successors Rajendra Chola I, Rajadhiraja Chola, Virarajendra Chola and Kulothunga Chola I the dynasty became a military, economic and cultural power in South Asia and South-East Asia. The power of the new empire was proclaimed to the eastern world by the expedition to the Ganges which Rajendra Chola I undertook and by the naval raids on cities of the maritime empire of Srivijaya, as well as by the repeated embassies to China. The Chola fleet represented the zenith of ancient Indian sea power.

Raja
Raja (/ˈrɑːdʒɑː/; also spelled rajah, from Sanskrit राजा rājā-) is a term for a monarch or princely ruler in South and Southeast Asia. Rana is practically equivalent, and the female form Rani (sometimes spelled ranee) applies equally to the wife of a raja or rana. Maharaja, or "great king" is in theory a title for more significant rulers in India, but after some inflation of titles over time, there is no clear difference between the terms.
The title has a long history in the Indian subcontinent and South East Asia, being attested from the Rigveda, where a rājan- is a ruler, see for example the dāśarājñá, the "battle of ten kings".
Etymology
Sanskrit rājan- is cognate to Latin rēx (genitive rēgis), Gaulish rīx, Gaelic rí (genitive ríg), etc., originally denoting heads of petty kingdoms and city states. It is believed to be ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European *h3rēǵs, a vrddhi formation to the root *h3reǵ- "to straighten, to order, to rule". The Sanskrit n-stem is secondary in the male title, apparently adapted from the female counterpart rājñī which also has an -n- suffix in related languages, compare Old Irish rígain and Latin regina. Cognates of the word Raja in other Indo-European languages include English reign and German reich. Rather common variants in Rajasthani, Marathi and Hindi, used for the same royal rank in parts of India include Rana, Rao, Raol, Rawal and Rawat.

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka (/sriːˈlɑːŋkə, -ˈlæŋkə/ or 
i/ʃriː-/;Sinhalese - ශ්රී ලංකාව, Tamil Ilaṅkai), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known from the beginning of British colonial rule until 1972 as Ceylon (/sᵻˈlɒnˌ seɪ-ˌ siː-/), is an island country in South Asia near south-east India.
Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest. Its documented history spans 3,000 years, with evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to World War II.
A diverse and multicultural country, Sri Lanka is home to many religions, ethnic groups, and languages. In addition to the majority Sinhalese, it is home to large groups of Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils, Moors, Burghers, Malays, Kaffirs and the aboriginal Vedda. Sri Lanka has a rich Buddhist heritage, and the first known Buddhist writings of Sri Lanka, the Pāli Canon, dates back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. The country's recent history has been marred by a thirty-year civil war which decisively ended when Sri Lankan military defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in 2009.

Raja Raja Chola I
Raja Raja Chola I (or Rajaraja Chola I) was a renowned king who ruled over the Chola kingdom of southern India between 985 and 1014 CE. During his reign, the Cholas expanded beyond South India with their domains stretching from Sri Lanka in the south to Kalinga in the north. Raja Raja Chola also launched several naval campaigns that resulted in the capture of the Malabar Coast as well as the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
Raja Raja built the Brihadeeswarar Temple in Thanjavur, one of the largest Hindu temples. During his reign, the texts of the Tamil poets Appar, Sambandar and Sundarar were collected and edited into one compilation called Thirumurai. He initiated a massive project of land survey and assessment in 1000 which led to the reorganization of the country into individual units known as valanadus.
Raja Raja Chola died in 1014 and was succeeded by his son Rajendra Chola.
Early life
Raja Raja was born in 947 in Aipassi month on the day of Sadhayam star. He was the third child of Parantaka Sundara Chola and Vanavan Maha Devi of the Velir Malayaman dynasty and was named Arulmozhi Varman. He had an elder brother Aditya Karikalan and an elder sister Kundavai.Aditya Karikalan, the crown prince was assassinated in suspicious circumstances in 969. After the death of Aditya, Sundara Chola announced that Uttama Chola will succeed him to the throne. Arulmozhivarman ascended the throne after the death of Uttama Chola in 985. The Thiruvalangadu copper-plate inscriptions state that Raja Raja was elected through a democratic process followed by Cholas.

His successes enabled his son Rajendra Chola I to extend the empire even further. நண்பர்களே, மன்னர் ராஜ ராஜ சோழன் அவர்களை இந்தியாவை ஆண்ட மாபெரும் தமிழ் மன்னனாக மட்டும் பாருங்கள் ! அவர் தேவரா, பள்ளரா, பறையரா, நாடாரா, வன்னியரா, செட்டியாரா, கவுண்டரா என்று விவாதம் வேண்டாம் !! -

In search of: Grave of Indian King Raja Raja Chola - Was he murdered?In search of: Grave of Indian King Raja Raja Chola - Was he murdered?
Read the full story here: http://goo.gl/M29uE1 In this video, I am gonna show you my search for the grave of the Indian King Raja Raja. I was told that his tombstone lies in the small village of Udayalur. This is where he is rumored to have been buried or cremated. When I visited this place, I was surprised to see a lingam which is about 2 feet tall and this elderly gentleman told me that the rest of the structure is buried underneath about 14 feet deep. It is a rather simple lingam with a diameter of only one and a half feet. He says this Lingam is the tombstone of Raja Raja. I asked him if he knew how Raja Raja died, and he told me he died naturally of old age and was cremated right here. Why would a great king have such a small, anonymous grave? You can see there are no inscriptions, no other carvings on this lingam or anywhere in this site. Remember, Raja Raja built the greatest temple in India which is now declared a world heritage site and his accomplishments and other information are inscribed all over the walls in many temples. So, I asked this gentleman, if there is any evidence to prove that this is in fact Raja Raja's grave. He told me there used to be a pillar here and it was donated to a temple called Paalkulathu amman temple, a few miles away. He said that this pillar has inscriptions which proves that Raja Raja died here. So, I decided to travel to this temple and take a look at this pillar myself. As soon as I reached the temple, I immediately spotted the pillar. The pillar does contain the word "RajaRaja" so it is obviously related to the King, but I was not able to completely understand what the inscription said. So, I took a lot of pictures and copied the entire writings on a scratchpad. I contacted an epigraphist, who was able to tell me exactly what was written in this pillar. I've posted the entire inscription and it's translation on my website phenomenalplace.com and you can take a look at it if you are interested. I double checked this information with another expert as well. What the inscription says is that "the Royal Palace of Raja Raja Chola was renovated by 4 people". The inscription includes those 4 names and that is all the information we see on this pillar. The inscription has no reference to the death or grave of the King at all. This shows that the site of this lingam is probably not Raja Raja's grave and there is no actual evidence to claim so. This raises the question of what happened to Raja Raja, how did he die? Where did his funeral take place? Think a moment, there are hundreds of inscriptions about Raja Raja's accomplishments, how he conquered various territories, how he built the great temple and even when he was born. But there is no information whatsoever about when or how he died and where he was buried or cremated. So I decided to go back to Thanjavur to find out more about his death. I contacted several archeologists and they told me that the only reason why a King's death would not recorded is if the King died an unnatural death. So, if a King committed suicide or was murdered, then the ancient Tamils would not record that. I spoke to a lot of locals in Thanjavur to see if anyone knew how he died. The locals tell a very different, but consistent story. It turns out that Raja Raja was actually murdered by a woman from Sri Lanka. Let's hear what this gentleman says. In 993 A.D, Raja Raja conquered half of Sri Lanka and the defeated King Mahinda V fled to the south, to avoid being captured. Unable to defeat Raja Raja in the battlefield, King Mahinda sent a Buddhist woman from Sri Lanka who slowly got into the inner circle of Raja Raja. When Raja Raja was standing on the 8th floor inspecting the progress of the Big Temple, she simply pushed him down. This fall killed him instantly. People claim this is why the temple was not properly finished and his son created a whole new capital in a different city because he thought that this was a cursed place. This story also explains why his son Rajendra Chola went after Sri Lanka with a vengeance, conquering the entire island. He then found King Mahinda who was hiding, brought him back and kept him as a lifelong prisoner. Mahinda V died in prison around 1029 A.D. Although this story explains why there is no record of Raja Raja's death or his tomb, again, I have to point out that I don't have any actual evidence to prove this. So, my quest for Raja Raja's grave and the nature of his death remains incomplete but I'm gonna keep searching. I hope you liked this video, I am Praveen Mohan. Thank you for watching and talk to you soon.

Episode 22: The Chola Empire, Part I
With Om Puri as Raja Raja Chola, Devendra Malhotra as Ishanashiva, Sunila Pradhan as Mahadevi Lalit Tiwari as Architect, Shantanu Chaparia as Tirumala, Mahendra Raghuvanshi as Kirukadikilan, Preeta Mathur as Umadevi, Murari Sharma as Singer, and Vijay Chibbar and Mohan Kant as the Traders. Playback by S.R. Venkatesh, Rajan Easwaran, Sharad Jambhekar, jolly Mukherjee, Hemant Kulkarni, V. Saraswathi, and T. Raghu.
Nehru observes that in South India, after a lapse of 1000 years after the Mauryan empire collapsed, there were great states like the Chalukya Empire in the west followed by the Rashtrakutas. Further south were the Pallavas who were mainly responsible for the colonising expeditions from India in the eastern seas. Later came the Chola Empire that spread right across the peninsula and conquered Sri Lanka and Southern Burma. King Mahendra Varman of the Pallava dynasty adopted the Vedic religion and promoted religious consciousness by building temples and settling Brahmins with gifts of land. Trade and commerce flourished with more than 500 businessmen allowed to form a guild. Of the Chola dynasty Raja Raja Chola was contemporaneous with the Turk invasions in the north but was buffered by the Rashtrakutas. The Chola dynasty continued their sway over the eastern seas and their ships carried merchandise to distant countries.
The story of building the mighty Brihadisvara temple is presented, albeit based on scant historical information. Raja Raja Chola has ruled in Tamil Nadu for sixteen years, yet the mystery of the murder of his uncle and predecessor, Uttam Chola, has not been solved. Blame is laid on his cousin Sundara Chola, who has taken refuge in the neighbourhood kingdom of Chera. The king, after his death, confiscates his family property within the Tamil territory. Throughout all this, ‘Rajmata’, the arch aunt-queen, strongly suspects Raja Raja to be guilty of uncle’s murder and usurping the throne. To get rid of this suspicion the king offers to build a temple to commemorate Uttam Chola at a site of Rajmata’s choice.
An unexpected gift arrives from the far-away king of the Shailendra dynasty of Kamboj (Cambodia), with a model of a temple that commemorates the king himself. The idea germinates in Raja Raja’s mind: why not build a temple, unparalleled in history, which would carry his own name? A secret plan is hatched away from the knowledge of ‘Rajmata’ to employ the best of architects and sculptors and even to bring in the finest of singers and dancers for performing in the temple. He would also build a flourishing city of Tanjavur all around the temple. The project is pressed on, regardless of all opposition, including an incipient rebellion.

Rajaraja Chola I (Tamil: ராஜ ராஜ சோழன்} born Arulmozhi varman),(also called as Arunmozhi Thevar and respectfully as Periya Udayar), popularly known as Raja Raja the Great, is one of the greatest emperors of the Tamil Chola Empire who ruled between 985 and 1014 CE. He established the Chola empire by conquering the kingdoms of southern India expanding the Chola Empire as far as Sri Lanka in the south, and Kalinga (Orissa) in the northeast. He fought many battles with the Chalukyas in the north and the Pandyas in the south. By conquering Vengi, Rajaraja laid the foundations for the Later Chola dynasty. He invaded Sri Lanka and started a century-long Chola occupation of the island.
He streamlined the administrative system with the division of the country into various districts and by standardizing revenue collection through systematic land surveys. Raja Raja Chola was also known as Rajaraja Sivapada Sekhara (he who had the feet of Lord Shiva as his crown).Being an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, he built the magnificent Peruvudaiyar Temple (also known as the Brihadeeswarar Temple) in Thanjavur and through it enabled wealth distribution amongst his subjects. His successes enabled his son Rajendra Chola I to extend the empire even further.

In this video, I am gonna show you my search for the grave of the Indian King Raja Raja. I was told that his tombstone lies in the small village of Udayalur. This is where he is rumored to have been buried or cremated.
When I visited this place, I was surprised to see a lingam which is about 2 feet tall and this elderly gentleman told me that the rest of the structure is buried underneath about 14 feet deep. It is a rather simple lingam with a diameter of only one and a half feet. He says this Lingam is the tombstone of Raja Raja. I asked him if he knew how Raja Raja died, and he told me he died naturally of old age and was cremated right here. Why would a great king have such a small, anonymous grave? You can see there are no inscriptions, no other carvings on this lingam or anywhere in this site. Remember, Raja Raja built the greatest temple in India which is now declared a world heritage site and his accomplishments and other information are inscribed all over the walls in many temples. So, I asked this gentleman, if there is any evidence to prove that this is in fact Raja Raja's grave.
He told me there used to be a pillar here and it was donated to a temple called Paalkulathu amman temple, a few miles away. He said that this pillar has inscriptions which proves that Raja Raja died here.
So, I decided to travel to this temple and take a look at this pillar myself. As soon as I reached the temple, I immediately spotted the pillar. The pillar does contain the word "RajaRaja" so it is obviously related to the King, but I was not able to completely understand what the inscription said. So, I took a lot of pictures and copied the entire writings on a scratchpad.
I contacted an epigraphist, who was able to tell me exactly what was written in this pillar. I've posted the entire inscription and it's translation on my website phenomenalplace.com and you can take a look at it if you are interested. I double checked this information with another expert as well.
What the inscription says is that "the Royal Palace of Raja Raja Chola was renovated by 4 people". The inscription includes those 4 names and that is all the information we see on this pillar. The inscription has no reference to the death or grave of the King at all. This shows that the site of this lingam is probably not Raja Raja's grave and there is no actual evidence to claim so.
This raises the question of what happened to Raja Raja, how did he die? Where did his funeral take place? Think a moment, there are hundreds of inscriptions about Raja Raja's accomplishments, how he conquered various territories, how he built the great temple and even when he was born. But there is no information whatsoever about when or how he died and where he was buried or cremated.
So I decided to go back to Thanjavur to find out more about his death. I contacted several archeologists and they told me that the only reason why a King's death would not recorded is if the King died an unnatural death. So, if a King committed suicide or was murdered, then the ancient Tamils would not record that.
I spoke to a lot of locals in Thanjavur to see if anyone knew how he died. The locals tell a very different, but consistent story. It turns out that Raja Raja was actually murdered by a woman from Sri Lanka. Let's hear what this gentleman says. In 993 A.D, Raja Raja conquered half of Sri Lanka and the defeated King Mahinda V fled to the south, to avoid being captured. Unable to defeat Raja Raja in the battlefield, King Mahinda sent a Buddhist woman from Sri Lanka who slowly got into the inner circle of Raja Raja. When Raja Raja was standing on the 8th floor inspecting the progress of the Big Temple, she simply pushed him down. This fall killed him instantly.
People claim this is why the temple was not properly finished and his son created a whole new capital in a different city because he thought that this was a cursed place. This story also explains why his son Rajendra Chola went after Sri Lanka with a vengeance, conquering the entire island. He then found King Mahinda who was hiding, brought him back and kept him as a lifelong prisoner. Mahinda V died in prison around 1029 A.D. Although this story explains why there is no record of Raja Raja's death or his tomb, again, I have to point out that I don't have any actual evidence to prove this. So, my quest for Raja Raja's grave and the nature of his death remains incomplete but I'm gonna keep searching. I hope you liked this video, I am Praveen Mohan. Thank you for watching and talk to you soon.
