    The Political History of the Pallavas by Dr G.Beulah Pearl Sunanda, Head, Dept. of History, Maris Stella college, Vijayawada, AP

    The Pallava dynasty was an Indian dynasty which existed from 275 CE to 897 CE. They gained prominence after the eclipse of the Satavahana dynasty, whom the Pallavas served as feudatories. Pallavas  became a major power during the reign of Mahendravarman and Narasimhavarman.  They dominated the southern parts of the Telugu  region and northern parts of the Tamil region for about 600 years until the end of the 9th C.  Throughpiut their reign , they were in constant conflict with both Chalukyas of Badami in the north and the Tamil kingdoms of Chola and Pandyas in the south.  They were finnaly defeated by the Chola ruler Aditya-I in the 9th C. CE there are different views regarding the origin of the Pallavas.  It is generally held that they originally lived in Palnadu in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh.  They went to Tondaimandalam as officers of the Satavahanas.  There they consolidated their position through matrimonial alliances with local Naga princes.  On the decline of the Satavahanas, they became independent.   There were four branches of Pallavas namely Pallavas of Prakrit Charters, Pallavas of Sanskrit Charters, Greater Pallavas and Nandivarman and his successors.   Kanchipuram was the capital of the Pallavas.  Chinese travellers such as Xuanzan and Hiuen Tsang visited their kingdom.   Narasimhavarman-I , son and successor of Mahendravarman-I was probably the greatest of the Pallava kings.   Contribution of the Pallavas in the field of architecture is noteworthy. the best example of their architectural contribution relates to the Shore temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Mamallapuram.  The foundation of south Indian sculpture and architecture is laid by the Pallavas.  Their  political and cultural history is a significant aspect of Indian history and worth studying
