Arisil

Arisil or Aricil is a branch of the river Kaveri in the Tanjore district.[1] It was the site of many a battle between the different Tamil kingdoms. One of the most notable being the 9th century war between Nripatunga Pallava and Sri Mara Pandya in which the latter was defeated. Nripatunga was the son of Nandivarman III by a Rashtrakuta princess[2][3]
