    Thanks gokul

    To day happend to see Kvs coin in photo album after your mail.

    Got shocked ,the similar coins were unearthed at bhimanagari of
    talcher region of bhumakaras dynasty of tribhuvana mahadevi ruled
    during 785.

    up to 985 there are 3 queens named thribhuvana mahadevi in orissa
    history.
    first tribhubvana mahadevi is a daughter of rajamalla of south india.
    they were operating palur port.

    this week i will check with devamangaraj is a coin collector having
    40000 coins (5000 coins are related to orissa History). this boy
    going to enter in to guinneess book soon.

    in orissa plenty of coin collectors are there.

    wil try to get a photo of similar coin from him.

    as i told there are several wars and marriages between kalinga and
    cholas.


    if u need can able to send zooming on 7th century to 10th century
    contemporary of orissan acitvity from my side.

    Note

    Uttama Chola had numerous queens. The names of some of them were
    Sorabbaiyar Tribhuvana-Mahadeviyar, Kaduvettigal Nandippottairaiyar
    (probably a Pallava princess), and Siddhavadavan Suttiyar (related
    to Vikramasola-Miladudaiyar a prominent feudal king who ruled over
    Miladu part of present South Arcot District). An inscription notes
    that Sorabbaiyar Tribhuvana-Mahadeviyar contributed a gift for
    spiritual benefit of her servant Ilaichchiyan Malapadi.

    As with most ancient Indian kings, Uttama Chola was religiously
    tolerant. Although a Saivaite (worshipper of Siva), he also donated
    to temples dedicated for Vishnu especially to the Ullagaladar
    temple. He also granted large degrees of autonomy to his districts.
    He brought in best talent from other kingdoms. Kachipeedu (mordern
    Kanchipuram) is also mentioned as one of his prominent cities. He is
    known to have contributed money, cattle, sheep to temples in modern
    Kumbakonam, Thirunallam (modern Konnerirajapuram), Thiruvallarai,
    Thirupatturai, Thirunedugalam, Thiruvisalur, Thirunaraiyur,
    Thiruvalangadu, Thirukkodika, etc.

    Uttama Chola's mother pioneered the process of kalpani-- converting
    brick, mortar, and wooden structures into granite and there is
    inscriptional evidence to show that he actively funded his mother in
    this work. She survived this king and lived on for another 16 years
    into the reign of Rajaraja I.

    Two sculptures of Uttama Chola (Madhuranthaka Devar) and his mother
    can be found in the Southern wall of the inner Prakara of the
    Konnerirajapuram (aka Thirunallam) temple near Kumbakonam. The
    inscription under the sculpture identifying Sembiyan Mahadevi
    identifies her and the Archealogical Survey of India interprets the
    bearded man behind her as Gandaraditya Chola.
