==History==

They seem to have been a powerful and influential group during the period of the [[Chola]]s as we find many sovereigns assuming titles such as ''Koliyar-Ko'' (King of Koliyar), ''Koliyar-Kula-pati'' (head of Koliyar), etc. so much so that historians sometimes use the term ''Koliyar'' as a synonym for the Cholas.<ref>{{cite book|title=Later Chola Temples: Kulottunga I to Rajendra III (A.D. 1070-1280)|author=S. R. Balasubrahmanyam, Balasubrahmanyam Venkataraman, Balasubrahmanyan Ramachandran|page=164|publisher=Mudgala Trust, 1979}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Early Cholas: Mathematics Reconstructs the Chronology|author=N.

It is of interest to note that [[Uraiyur]], the early Chola capital was also known as Koliyur.<ref>{{cite book|title=Gleanings from Sangam Verses: English Version of Sangat Thamizh|author=Kalaiñar Mu Karuṇāniti|publisher=Tamil University, 1997|page=54}}</ref> Though it is generally presumed to be named after the ''City of fowl or cock'', it perhaps takes its name after this once popular community.<ref>{{cite book|title=Town Planning in Ancient Dekkan|author=C.
