Venkatesh Uaraiyur was the sangam cholas capital.... Poompuhar became the capital at karikalans time as uraiyur was taken over by velirs and he had poompuhar as his capital His descendents ruled from both and fought with themselves Nallakilli and another Killi....
Vijaiyalayan times Pazhaiyarai though iis is said he chased the mutharayars out of Tanjore and took over it...
by Sunadarachoal time and RRC Thanjai was the capital...
Rajendra built GKC and moved capital to there and i think that was the capital of the later cholas
Am I right fols

Everybody sees things as they are and wonder why I dream of things that were never there and wonder why not?!
Dear sri was puhar abandoned after a tidal wave? or before the legendary wave that destroys the town.
nagarathars of chettinad were initially traders in puhar. the frequent flooding of their godowns created a fear psychosis. a 1500 years later , now having settled in water starved ramnad and sivagangai they still build houses with ground floor at 7- 8 feet high with many steps leading to it fearing a flood
why the nagaraththaars moved to pandya land is another story (very remniscent of the jew's mass exodus in pharoh's egypt.)
