Harivamsapuranam corroborates the fact that Chanoora was the king of Karoosa Desa (karooSa dESam) (on the North side of Vindhya and on the North banks of Yamuna river) and was an Anhdra (Andhrudu) too.

Chanoora (ca’NooruDu) was killed by Srikrishna in Madhura. Sahadeva defeated the kingdoms of Pandya, Dravida, Odhra, Kerala, Andhra, and Kalinga while performing the Rajasooya yajna. This confirms the ancient nature of Andhra society.Īndhras and Kalingas (ka’Limgulu) supported the Kauravas during the battle between Kauravas and Pandavas (the Bharata yudhdham). One can encounter several tales about Andhras in epics like Mahabharatam and Ramayanam, in great puranas, and Budhdhist Jataka Tales. This is the evolution of a society.Īndhra society is one of the ancient societies of India. Different tribes, classes, and societies gradually combined over a period of time and a transformed society had evolved. It is impossible to confirm the origin of a culture and the date of its origin.
