Karikala
Karikala ( ta, கரிகால சோழன்) was a Tamil Chola Emperor who ruled southern India. He is credited with the construction of the flood banks of the river Kaveri. He is recognised as the greatest of the Early Cholas. Sources The story of Karikala is mixed with legend and anecdotal information gleaned from Sangam literature. The only sources available are the numerous mentions in Sangam poetry. The period covered by the extant literature of the Sangam is unfortunately not easy to determine with any measure of certainty. '' Paṭṭiṉappālai'', '' Poruṇarāṟṟuppaṭai'' and a number of individual poems in the '' Akanaṉūṟu'' and '' Purananuru'' have been the main source for the information that is attributed to Karikala.
