Kadal Pura

Kadal Pura (Tamil: கடல் புறா, lit. Sea Pigeon) is a Tamil language historical novel written by Sandilyan. The story is based on the ancient Tamil Chola dynasty. It was named after the fictional ship built by the Chola Commander Illayapallavan (a) Karunaagara Pallavan, who later became King Thondaiman. The novel is about the Chola kingdom's invasion of Srivijaya (modern-day Malaysia and Singapore) and Kalinga (currently the state of Orissa). It's a work of fiction with a few historical characters thrown in anachronistically (example, Aguda was born in 1068, but appears in the novel as a 25-year-old).
