Tailapa II re-established Chalukya rule and defeated the Rashtrakutas during the reign of Karka II by timing his rebellion to coincide with the confusion caused in the Rashtrakuta capital of Manyakheta by the invading Paramaras of Central India in 973.
After overpowering the Rashtrakutas, Tailapa II moved his capital to Manyakheta and consolidated the Chalukya empire in the western deccan by subjugating the Paramara and other aggressive rivals and extending his control over the land between the Narmada River and Tungabhadra River.
The intense competition between the kingdoms of the western deccan and those of the Tamil kingdoms came to the fore in the eleventh century over the acutely contested fertile river valleys in the doab region of the Krishna and Godavari River called Vengi (coastal Andhra Pradesh).

Anaradhapura, the great Buddhist capital of Sri Lanka, was twice plundered, sacked and consigned to the flames by their warriors; for 75 years, Sri Lanka was ruled from Tanjore.

The Cholas worshipped and propitiated Kali, the fearsome goddess of destruction.

The crucial symbolic significance of the two rivers, Jamuna and Ganga, to the cosmology of the Hindu epics made the search for substitute rivers a staple of attempts to re-create the sacred geography elsewhere.
The Rashtrakuta, 8th-9th century rulers of central India, settled their capital in Manyakheta, whose significance seems to have lain in its location between the two great rivers of the Deccan, the Godavari and the Kistna, which justified its claim as a new Hastinapura, capital city of the Mahabharata.
As late as 1020, Chola king Rajendra I, with his capital in Tanjore in present-day Tamil Nadu, led a military expedition far up the east coast of the Indian subcontinent towards the Ganga, whose water he wished to bring back to create the sacred river anew in his own kingdom.
