✓
Answer
Far deep in the South arose the Kingdom of Pallavas which ruled from 6th– 8th century AD. Kanchi or Kanjeevaram was their capital. The Pallavas fought many battles against Pandyas and Chalukyas. Mahendravarman I was one of the greatest Pallava rulers. He was succeeded by his son Narasimhavarman I who conquered many parts of Sri Lanka. After his death, Pallava rule declined due to frequent wars and weak successors.
