Boothi Vikramakesari was a Velir Irukkuvel commander of the Chola Empire during Sundara Chola's reign. He is best remembered for building the Moovar Koil temple complex, a collection of three temples in the village of Kodumbalur, 36 kilometres from Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, India.[citation needed] His family was related to the Cholas by marriage. His mother was Chola princess Anupama, the daughter of Parantaka I, while his father was Samarabirama who belonged to the Velir clan.[1]
Boothi Vikramakesari was a Velir chieftain and a feudatory of Parantaka II. He succeeded his father as the Irunkovel king of Kodumbalur.[2] He was related to the Cholas by his mother side, as he was the son of Chola princess Anupama, the daughter of Parantaka I.[1] He raised some military conquests during Sundara Chola's reign. His exact period is still unknown, but can be fixed in the second half of the 10th century.[3]
