Explanation

• Rajendra I was a famous Chola conqueror. The Pandya, Kerala and Mysore regions and also Sri Lanka formed part of the empire. Rajendra founded the city of Gangaikondacholapuram and constructed the famous Rajesvaram temple in that city. He also excavated a large irrigation tank, called Cholagangam, on the western side of the city.

• He defeated Jayasimha II, the Western Chalukyan king and as a result, the river Tungabadhra was recognised as his northern boundary and a boundary between the Cholas and Chalukyas. Another famous venture of Rajendra was his naval expedition to Kadaram or Sri Vijaya, which was a complete success. He assumed the title Kadaramkondan after it. He also assumed some other titles, the most famous being Mudikondan, Gangaikondan and Pandita Cholan.
