The Rajarajesvaram (Brithadisvara), The Royal Temple Of The Cola Monarch Rajaraja I, Was The Greatest Monumental Undertaking Of The Cols. The Inscriptions On Its Walls Are A Veritable Registry Of Administrative Details. The Author, Dr. Geeta Vasudevan, Has Undertaken An Indepth Analysis Of These Inscriptions And Examined The Pivotal Role Of The Royal Temple In The Economic, Social, Religious And Political Affairs Of The Empire. She Convincingly Puts Forth The Argument That The Royal Temples Under The Middle Colas Were Instruments Of Imperial Power And Helped To Enhance And Consolidate Cole Hegemony Over A Vast Empire Extending Over 1000 Kms From Andhra In The North To Northen Sri Lanka In The South.The Thesis Is Also The First Serious Attempt To Bring Out The Differences Between Bhakti Temples (Or Temples Sanctified Through Holy Associations) And Royal Temples (Or Royal Chapels Of Kings); The Reasons The Former Have Survived Almost 1000 Years As Places Of Worship While Many Of The Latter Are Languishing As Archaeological Monuments.

The period of Early Cholas (850 A.D – 970 A.D) forms an important epoch in the history of Tamilnadu. Starting from a scratch the Early Chola rulers exerted to establish a vast empire by their conquests. Rulers like Vijayalaya I, Aditya I and Parantaka I were great warriors who built the Chola empire inch by inch. Vijayalaya conquered Tanjavur, Aditya I annexed Tondai-mandalam and Parantaka I occupied Madurai. During the reign of Parantaka I his empire extended up to Nellore in the north to Kanyakumari in the south. Though the Takkolam battle put a poke into the expansion of the Cholas, it did not exhaust the vitality of the Chola empire. The Cholas recovered remarkably from the disaster and emerged like a phoenix and rebuilt the empire quickly. The early Cholas are best remembered for their signal contribution in the sphere of local administration. The rules relating to the mode of local administration best averred in the celebrated Uttaramerur inscriptions were conceived during the reign of Parantaka Chola I. The Early Cholas also left their imprints on art, architecture and sculpture.
