The Middle Chola Timeline requires revision
The Middle Chola timeline requires revision due to a fundamental flaw in its construction. Historians have traditionally calculated the reign of each king from the death year of the preceding king, overlooking the overlap of regnal years between consecutive kings. In reality, each king's reign began after the death of the predecessor king's predecessor, indicating parallel rulership.
Key evidence includes: - Rajaraja I's regnal years starting after Aditya II's death, not Madhurantaka's (Uttama Chola). - An inscription in the Big Temple revealing Rajendra I's 3rd year coinciding with Rajaraja's 29th year, indicating overlapping reigns. Two inscriptions of Rajendra I found in Nanjangud with complete panchanga details help determine his reign, which in turn reveals Rajaraja's first and last years. Notably, Rajaraja's inscriptions lack necessary panchanga features for dating, and some are corrupted. The missing kings are also identified by listing down Parakesari - Rajakesari titles. The findings: - Rajaraja I's reign began in 976-977 CE, not 985 CE. - The Big Temple's 1000-year completion was in 2001, not 2010. - Gangai Konda Cholapuram Temple's 1000-year completion was in 2013-14, not 2025.
