Chola Empire
Chola Empire appears on the map from 850 to 1259. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1028, it covered about 522,021 km².
The Cholas were one of the three ancient Tamil ruling families of southern India, mentioned in Ashoka's edicts and in early Tamil Sangam poetry. After centuries in the shadow of the Pallavas and Pandyas, Vijayalaya revived the dynasty around 848 by capturing Thanjavur. Rajaraja I and his son Rajendra I built an empire covering southern India and Sri Lanka, sent an army to the Ganges and launched a naval expedition against Srivijaya in 1025, projecting power across the Bay of Bengal.
