P. Anbu Selvan

Abstract :

The aim of this paper is to describe the epigraphical history of Sermadevi. Sermadevi, is located on the southern bank of the river Tampraparani in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu. It lies on the latitude 8° 41 and longitude 77° 36. The medieval town at present functions as the head quarters of the Sub–Collector of Ambasamudram and Nanguneri taluks of Tirunelveli district. Sermadevi, which is situated between Tirunelveli and Ambasamudram once, formed an integral part of the erstwhile Chera kingdom. It became the meeting ground of all the major South Indian powers including the Vijayanagar Empire. It witnessed a series of political vicissitudes that rather decided the fortunes of the Chera, Chola, Pandya and Vijayanagar rulers. The political fortunes centred on Sermadevi decided the very course of the history of South India
