Period: Before 3rd century BC; no historical record
The Chola king Kakandan was a mythological early Chola king. There is no historical proof about this king. He ruled the Chola kingdom and had Poompuhar or Kaverpoompattinam as his capital. He was the illegitimate son of the king Kantamanan. As Parasuram, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was killing all the Indian kings due to his vow, Kantamanan made him as the king and ran away from his kingdome. It is also believed that he was made as the king only for a short period.
Kakandan was a king during the Sangam period. He was contemporary of sage Agastya and Parasuram.
