•The Chera dynasty was one of the principal lineages in the early history of the present day states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and union territory of Puducherry in southern India. •Together with the Cholas of Uraiyur and the Pandyas of Madurai, the early Cheras were known as one of the three major political powers of ancient Tamilakam (southern India) in the early centuries of the Common Era.
•The Cheras owed their importance to exchange of spices and other products with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean (Graeco-Roman) merchants.
•The geographical advantages, like the favourable Monsoon winds which carried ships directly from the Arabia to southern India as well as the abundance of exotic spices in the interior Ghat mountains and the presence of a large number of rivers connecting the Ghats with the Arabian Sea combined to make the Cheras a major power in ancient southern India.
•Along with the Ay-Vels in the south and the Ezhimala Mushakas in the north, the Early Cheras formed the three principle ruling polities of ancient Kerala.
•The age and antiquity of the Cheras is difficult to establish.
•The exact location of the Chera homeland is also a matter of scholarly debate.
•The Cheras of the early historical period (early centuries of the Common Era) are known to have established bases at Karur/Karuvur-Vanchi in interior Tamil Nadu, and at Muchiri (Muziris) and Thondi (Tyndis) on the Indian Ocean coast.
•After the end of the early historical period, around the 5th century CE, there seems to be a period where the Cheras' power declined considerably.
