3 unusual facts about Kulothunga Chola III


Veera Ballala II

Ballala II thought it fit to turn enmity into friendship by entering into a marital relationship with Kulothunga Chola III.

Initially, for gaining control over Gangavadi and Tagadur controlled by the Cholas, Ballala II attacked the forces of Kulothunga Chola III, who had continued Chola hegemony over the provinces of Gangavadi, Kolar in the Kannada country.

However, Kulothunga Chola III, who also held the Pandya country and Eelam, modern Sri Lanka, proved to be a strong adversary and he inflicted a defeat on Ballala II.
