Chera Dynasty | Sneak Peek
The Cheras ruled over the central and northern parts of Kerala and the Kongu region of Tamil Nadu. They controlled the ports of the west coast, Musiri, and Tondi. Vanji (Present-day Karur or Tiruvanchaikkalam in Kerala) was their capital. Most Scholars now accept that there were two main branches of the Chera family and the Poraiya branch ruled from Karur of present-day Tamil Nadu.
- The emblem of Cheras was “bow and arrow”.
- The Pugalur inscription of the 1st century AD has reference to three generations of Chera rulers.

The most well-known ruler of Cheras was Senguttuvan, the Red Chera or the Good Chera in the 2nd century A.D.
