Chola Temples as per Inscriptions stones in Bangaluru[edit]

Cholas ruled Southern Karnataka from 1004CE to 1070CE and the Chalukya-Cholas ruled from 1070CE to 1117CE (Rajendra Chalukya of Vengi ruled both Vengi Chalukya and Chola Kingdoms under the name Kulotunga CHola).

Based on the inscriptions we find that Cholas were primarily in Kolar and Channapatna which were major hubs in their time. However, hola presence in Bangalore was practically non existant. in 1117CE, Hoysalas defeated the Cholas and drove them out.

During the Hoysala reign, Shrivaishnava Brahmins took refuge in southern Karnataka to escape prosecution by the Cholas in Tamil Nadu. The Hoysalas employed them as temple administrators. The Shrivaishnavas made Tamil inscriptions which is often mistaken for Chola work. All the Tamil inscriptions of Bangalore belong to the Hoysala period.

A number of spurious articles published by newspapers such as Indian Express, the Hindu, Deccan Herald, DNA etc have incorrectly attributed Tamil inscriptions of Hoysala times to Cholas though the inscriptions tell us otherwise.

There are no Chola Temples in Bangalore as per the inscriptions stones. The exhaustive list of Inscriptions of Bangalore are recorded in the Epigraphia Carnatica by BL Rice around 1907AD ^[1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tellinfo (talk • contribs) 17:05, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
