The Cheras
v1.c34.s2.1
The Chera country lay to the west and north of that of Pandyas and roughly corresponds with the present-day Kerala. Its recorded history begins in the middle of the second century of the Christian Era when a great battle was fought between the Chera king, Adan I, and a Chola king. The greatest Chera king was Senguttuvan (A.D. 180). After the second century of the Christian Era, the Chera power declined.
