"Middle Chola Temples " - Part 2 of - RajaRaja Cholan I
  • Dear all...

    Great work Jana!



    >Of the many queens of Rajaraja I, the Chief one was Loga Mahadevi alias
    >Danti Sakti Vitanki.

    Well...that certainly seems to have solve dthe problem. I've wondering who
    on earth 'Danthi Sakthi Vidangi' was. (While we're on it- *what* does the
    name mean?!)

    >Of the others, Vanavan Mahadevi alias Tribhuvana >Mahadevi has the
    >distinction of being the mother of Rajendra I. The others were: Chola
    >Mahadevi, Trailokya Mahadevi, Panchavan
    >Mahadevi,Abhimanavalli,
    >Lata Mahadevi, Prithvi Mahadevi, Meenavan Mahadevi, Viranarayani and
    >Villavan Mahadevi. Many of them have either built temples of their
    >own or
    >donated bronzes to temples.


    Oh my...it looks like Kalki just put in Vanathi's name down as Rajendra's
    mum.

    Panchavan Maadevi is the queen whom the inscriptions praised sky-high,
    right? She's also known as Chozha Maadevi. And apparently- she was closest
    to Raja raja (hear this one, Latha Mahadevi!)

    I think our Prince had 14 wives (15?!). I took quite some time digesting it,
    I can tell you.

Howdy, Stranger!
