Virarajendra Chola Defeats Chalukya Forces Repeatedly
1062
The Chola king Virarajendra launched a series of devastating campaigns into Chalukya territory, defeating Someshvara I's forces on multiple occasions and routing the Chalukya princes Vikramaditya and Jayasimha at Kudala Sangama. The victories secured Chola dominance over the Vengi region and demonstrated that Tamil military power could project deep into the Deccan plateau, though holding such distant conquests proved another matter entirely.
