About the Book
Lords of Earth and Sea: A History of the Chola Empire
The Chola Empire was an anomaly—an empire that rose unexpectedly from the Kaveri floodplains around 850 CE and went on to dominate the subcontinent in a way no other South Indian dynasty had before. Their magnificent temples, fearless naval expeditions, and cultural innovations, from the iconic Nataraja to Tamil devotional poetry, shaped the region’s history in ways both grand and intimate.
Award-winning historian Anirudh Kanisetti brings this world to life, not just through kings and queens, but through the merchants, warriors, temple cooks, and peasants who lived under Chola rule. From merchant ships sailing to China to the lives of landless peasants and warrior women, this book paints a vivid, deeply researched portrait of a civilization whose legacy still endures.
A gripping and immersive history, Lords of Earth and Sea separates fact from myth, offering a stunning reexamination of one of India’s most extraordinary empires.
