One of the most famous of the South Indian kings was Chola, Rajaraja the Great (979-1002), who spent the first seven years of his reign in the rapid expansion of his dominions by carefully prepared campaigns, and the last fourteen years in an equally careful consolidation of his extended territories. He was a great builder, the Subramanya Temple at Tanjore being his chief architectural achievement. Part of its elaborate ornamentation consisted of a series of scenes of his military performances.
