Kulothunga Chola II
Monarch
Who is Kulothunga Chola II?
Kulothunga Chola II was a 12th-century king of the Chola Dynasty of the Tamil people of South India. He succeeded his father Vikrama Chola to the throne in 1135 CE. Vikrama Chola made Kulothunga his heir apparent and coregent in 1133 CE, so the inscriptions of Kulothunga II count his reign from 1133 CE.
Kulothunga II reigned over a period of general peace and good governance. There is no record of any warfare except for the reduction of Chola control over the conquered Eastern Chalukyas territories, which had been won by his father.
Kulothunga II appears to have been popular as evidenced by Sekkizhar's work Periya Puranam.
