write the merits and demerits of the cholas work
Answers
The Chalukya Cholas of the medieval Chola Dynasty were related to Chalukyas by marriages and were in fact more Chalukyas than pure Tamils. All ruling dynasties in the history of this world have this mixed sort of ancestry.
The fact of the matter was their amalgamating Saivism with Brahminism and its Temple arts dance culture domestically and building Temples instead of Forts in conquered countries overseas, under Brahminical influence. They could not sustain there even for a few generations.
The Devadasi system was their honey trap and led to the eventual demise as an empire. They compromised on Dravidian Hinduism in favour of Vedic Brahminical Hinduism.
But it is too unwise to draw conclusions on past history based on our current understanding on too little literary and Archeological and Genetic evidences. But their contribution to Indian History is in fact little recognised in modern history , since they were Dravidians per se.
The Cholas built their temples in the traditional way of the Pallava dynasty, who were themselves influenced by the Amaravati school of architecture. The Chola artists and artisans further drew their influences from other contemporary art and architectural schools and elevated the Dravidian temple design to greater heights.[1] The Chola kings built numerous temples throughout their kingdom, which normally comprised the plains, Central and Northern Tamil Nadu and at times the entire state of Tamil Nadu as also adjoining parts of modern Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. In the evolution of the Chola temple architecture we can roughly see three major phases, beginning with the early phase, starting with Vijayalaya Chola and continuing till Sundara Chola, the middle phase of Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola when the achievements scaled heights never reached before or since and the final phase during the Chalukya Chola period of Kulottunga Chola I till the demise of the Chola empire.
