TIRUCHIRAPPALLI -BEAUTIFUL CITY OF TAMILNADU -BY DRONE

Tiruchirappalli is one of the oldest inhabited cities in India. Its recorded history begins in the 3rd century BC, when it was under the rule of the Cholas. The city has also been ruled by the Pallavas, Pandyas, Vijayanagar Empire, Nayak Dynasty, the Carnatic state and the British. The most prominent historical monuments in Tiruchirappalli include the Rockfort, the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam, the Erumbeeswarar Temple at Tiruverumbur and the Jambukeswarar temple at Thiruvanaikaval. The archaeologically important town of Uraiyur, capital of the Early Cholas, is now a neighbourhood in Tiruchirappalli. The city played a critical role in the Carnatic Wars (1746–1763) between the British and the French East India companies. The city is an important educational centre in the state of Tamil Nadu, and houses nationally recognised institutions such as National Institutes of Technology (NIT), Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) Tamil Nadu National Law School Srirangam, and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIIT) Srirangam. Industrial units such as Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Golden Rock Railway Workshop, Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli (OFT) and High Energy Projectile Factory (HEPF) have their factories in the city. The presence of a large number of energy equipment manufacturing units in and around the city has earned it the title of "Energy Equipment and Fabrication Capital of India". Tiruchirappalli is internationally known for a brand of cheroot known as the Trichinopoly cigar, which was exported in large quantities to the United Kingdom during the 19th century. Tiruchirappalli is one of the oldest inhabited cities in Tamil Nadu; its earliest settlements date back to the second millennium BC.[15] Uraiyur, the capital of the Early Cholas for 600 years from the 3rd century BC onwards,[16] is a neighbourhood in the present-day Tiruchirappalli.[17][18] The city is referred to as Orthoura by the historian Ptolemy in his 2nd-century work Geography.[19] The world's oldest surviving dam, the Kallanai (Lower Anaicut) about 18 kilometres (11 mi) from Uraiyur,[20] was built across the Kaveri River by Karikala Chola in the 2nd century AD.[21] The medieval history of Tiruchirappalli begins with the reign of the Pallava king Mahendravarman I, who ruled over South India in the 6th century AD and constructed the rock-cut cave-temples within the Rockfort.[22][23][24] Following the downfall of the Pallavas in the 8th century, the city was conquered by the Medieval Cholas, who ruled until the 13th century.[25] After the decline of the Cholas, Tiruchirappalli was conquered by the Pandyas,[26] who ruled from 1216 until their defeat in 1311 by Malik Kafur, the commander of Allauddin Khilji.[27][28] The victorious armies of the Delhi Sultanate are believed to have plundered and ravaged the region.[27][28][29] The idol of the Hindu god Ranganatha in the temple of Srirangam vanished at about this time and was not recovered and reinstated for more than fifty years.[28][29] Tiruchirappalli was ruled by the Delhi and Madurai sultanates from 1311 to 1378,[30] but by the middle of the 14th century the Madurai Sultanate had begun to fall apart.[31] Gradually, the Vijayanagar Empire established supremacy over the northern parts of the kingdom, and Tiruchirappalli was taken by the Vijayanagar prince Kumara Kampanna Udaiyar in 1371.[32] The Vijayanagar Empire ruled the region from 1378 until the 1530s, and played a prominent role in reviving Hinduism by reconstructing temples and monuments destroyed by the previous Muslim rulers.[33] Following the collapse of the Vijayanagar Empire in the early part of the 16th century, the Madurai Nayak kingdom began to assert its independence.[34][35][36] The city flourished during the reign of Vishwanatha Nayak (c. 1529–1564), who is said to have protected the area by constructing the Teppakulam and building walls around the Srirangam temple.[37][38] His successor Kumara Krishnappa Nayaka made Tiruchirappalli his capital,[38] and it served as the capital of the Madurai Nayak kingdom from 1616 to 1634 and from 1665 to 1736.[39][40][41] VIDEO OUT MAY20TH ALBUM CREATED ; Jass MUSIC ; ELECTRIC HDSOUND
