From roughly the start of the 1120-1330 A.D, a Chola family ruled over Eruvanadu, also known as "Eruvadesa." These Cholas added Eruva as a prefix to their names. Apart from the Eruva chola dynasty that governed the area around Rajahmundry during the middle of the 14th century A.D., there are more than six Eruva cholas that are known to exist.
Moreover, under Chola's protection, Vengi remained largely independent. Cholas also dominated the entire eastern coast with their feudatories, the Telugu Cholas of Velanati and Nellore among others. These feudatories always aided the Cholas in their successful campaigns against the Chalukyas and levied tribute on the Kannada kingdoms.
