Brief
About Tiruchirappalli
District History
Woraiyur , a part of present day Tiruchirappalli, was the capital
city of Cholas from 300 B.C. onwards. This is supported by archaeological
evidences and ancient literatures. There are also literary sources
which tell that Woraiyur continued to be under the control of Cholas
even during the days of Kalabhra interregnum (A.D. 300 - 575). Later,
Woraiyur along with the present day Tiruchirappalli and its neighboring
areas came under the control of Mahendra Varma Pallava I, who ascended
the throne in A.D. 590. Till A.D. 880, according to the inscriptions,
this region was under the hegemony of either the Pallvas or the Pandyas.
It was in A.D. 880, Aditya Chola brought a downfall to the Pallava
dynasty. From that time onwards Tiruchirappalli and its region became
a part of Greater Cholas. In A.D. 1225 the area was occupied by the
Hoysulas. Afterwards, it came under the rule of later Pandyas till
the advent of Mughal Rule. Tiruchirappalli was for some time under
the Mughal rule, which was put to an end by the Vijayanagar rulers.
The Nayaks, the Governors of Vijayanagar empire, ruled this area till
A.D. 1736. It was Viswanatha Nayaka who built the present day Teppakulam
and the Fort. The Nayak dynasty came to an end during the days of
Meenakshi. The Muslims rules this region again with the aid of either
the French or the English armies. For some years, Tiruchirappalli
was under the rule of Chanda Sahib and Mohamed Ali. Finally the English
brought Tiruchirappalli and other areas under their control. The district
was then under the hegemony of British for about 150 years till the
independence of India
