The Cholas came to power in the late 9th century, and until the late 13th century, they ruled most of South India, Sri Lanka, the Maldive Islands, and even parts of the Indonesian island of Java from their homeland near Thanjavur (Tanjore) on the southeastern coast of what is now Tamil Nadu, India.

It was founded by Vijalaya, who captured Tanjore in 850 AD. The greatest among the Chola rulers were the imperialists Rajaraja (985-1014 AD) and his son Rajendra I (1012 1044 AD).

These rulers adopted a maritime policy allowing their expansionist arm to reach far longer than pure land expansion would allow, Maldives and Sri Lanka. Under Rajaraja the Chola kingdom grew into an extensive and well knit empire.

The empire maintained diplomatic ties with countries as distant as Burma (Myanmar), China, and Malaysia across the Indian Ocean.

Now the Chola rulers are remembered most for what they created rather than for what they conquered. Chola rulers were active patrons of the arts, and during their reign, poetry, drama, music, and dance flourished.

They also constructed enormous stone temple complexes decorated inside and out with painted and sculpted representations of the Hindu gods. Some of the best-known artistic remains from this time period are the bronzes that were commissioned for each temple as well as the magnificent Dravidian temples of south India.
