Mahmud of Ghazni believes he has crushed the spirit of Bhaarat - the Shiva Linga at the Somnath Temple lies shattered and thousands are dead. But among the ashes of destruction , an oath is taken. Five people - a Tamil warrior , a Gujarati merchant , a devotee of Lord Ayappan , a scholar-emperor from Malwa and the most powerful man on Earth , Emperor Rajendra Chola-resolve to undertake a perilous quest and strike at the heart of the invader's Kindom.
From the grandeur of the Chola empire to the shadows of Ghazni's bloodstained court , The Chola Tigers is the scintillating story of courage born from despair and of vengeance that becomes Dharma.
