Which title did Rajendra I assume and why ? |
|
Answer» Rajendra I ascended the Chola throne in around 1014 CE. He was an able ruler like his father Rajaraja I. In Kalinga, the Chola armies defeated the Eastern Ganga ruler Madhukamanarva. In eastern India’s Bengal, he defeated the ruler Mahipala. Upon the success of his Gangetic Valley campaign, he assumed the title of ‘Gangekonda Chola’. And to commemorate this conquest, he built his new capital ‘Gange Kondacholapuram’ on the bank of river Kaveri. |
