Period: Probably 1st century BC
Nedunkilli was one of the early Cholas. During the same peirod, there was another Chola kind named Nalankilli, the son of Karikalan, became the Chola ruler in Pumpuhar. Nedunkilli ruled the country from Aavur city. He occupied Urayur city from Nalankilli. Hence, Nalankilli attacked Aavur fort. Nedunkilli was not so brave as Nalankilli. He closed the doors of fort and was inside the fortress without facing Nalankilli. Then, he somehow escaped to Uraiyur. Nalankilli came to know this and attacked Uraiyur fort also. The Sangam poet Kovoor Kizhaar tried to make peace between them in vain. Ultimately, there was a battle between both the kings in a place called Kariyaru. Nedunkilli was killed in the battle.
