Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Vanniyakula Kshatriya has a history of 5000 years from the time of Mahabharata created by Queen Draupadi. We are the worshippers of Queen Draupadi and King Dharmaraya. Lord Krishna is our brother and Bhagavad Gita is our religious scripture. I have been studying the documents, articles, headings and the epigraphs of the Kings of VannikulaKshatriyas. It has a very rich and proud history even in Vijayanagar Kingdoms.
The Vannikula Chalukyas, Gangas of Kolar are closely related to Vanni. Chola Naicker Ahali Ebbal now known as the Aarti(RK Nagar) Nagar was one of the H.Qs. of the Chola empire in the 11th Century. Kaluchuris of M.Pand Kadambas of Karnataka, Solankis of Gugarat, Cheras of Kerala, Cholas, Pandyas, Pallavas, Gujjars of Rajasathan,
