[ Ссылка ] presents : Pallavas - Pallava Dynasty- South Indian Dynasties

Watch this video to know more about the Pallavas, one of the greatest South Indian dynasties ever known.

The south of India has seen many empires, however one of the most powerful to exist in that region was the Pallava dynasty. The Pallavas were great conquerors and patrons of art and architecture. They ruled for nearly 500 years.

The Pallavas initially conquered the region of Thondaimandalam in Pallavapuri right on the coastline. Shortly thereafter, a natural disaster occurred and the entire area was washed away by the sea. The Pallavas then moved to Kanchipuram and it was from there that they built their mighty empire which extended from northern Odisha to Tanjore and Trichi in the far south.

Skandavarman is believed to be the first Pallava ruler who ruled in the early part of the fourth century. Skandavarman extended his territories from the Krishna river to Pennar in the south all the way across to Bellary in the west. After having performed the Ashvamedha and various Vedic rituals, he earned the title of “Supreme King of Kings devoted to Dharma.”

The Pallavas were in a hurry and they began to rapidly expand their kingdom. They soon took over areas of north and south Arcot, Chengalpet and parts of Tanjore. During the period of 350 to 575, there were over 16 kings who ruled. King Sambashivu ruled from 560 to 580. He was a strong ruler who defeated the Cholas, Pandyas and Kalabhras which were the original rulers of the southern regions. Sambashivu was a Vaishnavite, a devotee of Lord Vishnu and his portrait is present in the Adi Varaha temple in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.
