Pallava
The Pallava dynasty is a Hindu who has dominated India's southeastern end of the third century to the ninth century. They ruled from their capital Kanchipuram and at the height of their power, their empire stretched over most of southern India , bordered by the lands of Chalukya north, those of Chera to the west and those of the Chola South. Pallava period is a time of great spiritual changes in South India, the Buddhism is in decline, Jainism and the growing movement of bhakti appeared, while the mystics Vaishnava Alvar and Shivaite Nayanmars are fully active.
Under the Pallava, maritime trade is booming with Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. It is also a favorable period for the arts, music, painting, literature, and architecture. The stone temples replace the excavated buildings, as seen on the site of Mahabalipuram , with its temple and its remarkable Rathas shore. Mahabalipuram is supposed to be the location of port facilities of the Pallava, but no archaeological excavation could not confirm that. The effects of the tsunami of 26 December 2004 , however, have revealed structures that are studied by the Archaeological Survey of India. The Pallavas engaged in constant warfare with the Chalukyas of Badami , are ultimately eclipsed by the Chola to the eighth century as a major power in the region.
Specialists of the Southeast Asia called "Pallava writing" the alphabet vatteluttu from southern India, which is the basis of many writing systems in the region, including alphabets Burmese , Javanese , Khmer.
