Parthiban Kanavu

* The Chola Empire, which was once an empire, became a slave state to the Pallavas. It became a small state without the freedom to pay tribute to the Pallavas. The Chola king Parthiban informs his son Vikraman that the Chola kingdom should regain its lost glory. * Parthiban, who refuses to pay tribute to the Pallava king Narasimhavarman, bravely resists the Pallava king and dies. After this, the story tells how the Chola country gained independence from the Pallavas. * A major part of the story revolves around the Chola prince Vikraman, the boatman Ponnan, Ponnan's wife Valli, the Chola general Marappa Bhupatha, the Pallava princess Kundavi, the Pallava emperor Narasimhavarman, etc. * If readers read Parthiban Kanavai after reading Kalki's novel Sivagami's Vow, they will see that many of the characters in Sivagami's Vow continue in Parthiban Kanavai.
