Key PointsAccording to Chola Inscriptions, There were five types of "Land gifts" that Chola kings gave to their peoples

The Cholas (8th-12th century AD):
They are remembered as one of the longest-ruling dynasties in the southern regions of India.
The reign of the Cholas began in the 9th century when they defeated the Pallavas to come into power.
This rule stretched over for over five long centuries until the 13th century.
The medieval period was the era of absolute power and development for the Cholas. This is when kings like Aditya I and Parantaka I.
From here Rajaraj Chola and Rajendra Chola further expanded the kingdom into the Tamil region. Later Kulothunga Chola took over Kalinga to establish a strong rule.
This magnificence lasted until the arrival of the Pandyas in the early 13th century.
