'''Chola Nadu''' was a [[list of regions of India|region]] of [[Tamil Nadu]] state in southern [[India]]. It encompasses the lower reaches of the [[Kaveri River]] and its delta, and formed the cultural homeland and political base of the [[Chola Dynasty]] which ruled most of South India and parts of Sri Lanka and South-East Asia between the 9th and 13th centuries AD. [[Uraiyur]] (now part of [[Tiruchirapalli]] city) served as the early Chola capital, then medieval Cholas shifted to [[Thanjavur]] and later cholas king [[Rajendra Chola I]] moved the capital to [[Gangaikonda Cholapuram]] in [[Ariyalur]] in the 11th century.
The boundaries of the region roughly correlates with those of the British India districts of [[Tanjore District (Madras Presidency)|Tanjore]] and [[Trichinopoly District (Madras Presidency)|Trichinopoly]]. Culturally, the region also includes [[Pudukkottai District]], [[Ariyalur District]], [[Perambalur District]]
