Chudamani Vihara

c. 1006 · 11th century · Also known as Chulamanivarma Vihara

The Chudamani Vihara was a Buddhist monastery at Nagapattinam on the Coromandel coast of south India, built in the early eleventh century by the Srivijayan king Sri Mara Vijayottungavarman. The Chola king Rajaraja I granted it the revenue of a village, as recorded in the Larger Leiden copper plates. It shows the close religious and commercial ties between Srivijaya and the Cholas before their war of 1025; its last ruined tower was demolished in 1867.
