#Thread on Cheras Dynasty aka Kerelaputra:
As per records of Tamil Sangam Litrature,Cheras territories comprised of West and North of the Pandyas.A narrow strip between Arabian sea and Konkan range of Western Ghats,Malabar Coast,Cochi and North Travancore were inhibited by Cheras

In early 3rd century, Nedunjeral -adan was one of the great Kerelaputra, who subjugated the Kadambas near Goa. Nedunjeral was a great warrior who did not let Romans and Greeks make their appearance on coastal regions. This battle happened after invasion of Alaxander in North,

but they could not establish their foot hold in Chera soil.
Senguttuvana was the greatest Chera ruler who is known to have fought several battles against Cholas and Pandyas. The Cheras power declined by end of 3rd century, but maintained its regional presence.Once again in 8th

century, Cheras regained their identity under Alwar Kulashekhata Varman who was son of Thidaviradhan. By this time Chera capital was Tiruvanchikullam (Mahodayapuram. they tried to recover their territories but around 945, Cheras naval fleet got defeated by Chola king Raj Raja.

Cheras tried to re-establish in 10th century but again got defeated by Pallavas and Pandyas.Being in power for such a short time period,Cheras played no significant role in political history of South India.

Cheras official language was Tamil and Sanskrit. They mainly worshipped Murugan (Kartikeya) and Kottvari (Devi Durga).
Cheras also had domination over Indian Ocean and they had active tarde of spices with South East countries.
