The Chola dynasty, one of South India's most influential kingdoms, stands as a testament to a unique governance model that skillfully blended diverse cultural influences. This research examines the hybrid model of kingship in Chola governance, analyzing the intricate interplay between Aryan and Tamil influences that shaped its administrative, religious, and ideological structures. Through this study, we seek to unravel how these dual cultural streams contributed to a distinctive form of kingship that both reflected and adapted to the socio-political complexities of the Chola period.The research highlights Aryan influences seen in the incorporation of Dharmic principles, hierarchical structures, and administrative practices, which were rooted in Vedic traditions. These were adapted to align with Tamil cultural values, including an emphasis on local governance, kinship-based authority, and community-centric rituals. The Tamil influence, integral to Chola identity, emphasized a unique political ideology that prioritized regional autonomy, the role of Tamil language and literature, and integration of indigenous religious practices. This study reveals how Aryan religious practices were reinterpreted within Tamil cultural frameworks, leading to a governance model that reinforced Chola authority while preserving regional traditions. This synthesis of influences allowed the Cholas to maintain a stable rule and expand their influence across South Asia. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of studying hybrid governance models in ancient Indian history. Understanding the Chola model offers insights into how cultural synthesis shaped pre-modern states, facilitating the coexistence of diverse religious, linguistic, and ideological traditions. This study contributes to broader discussions on cultural adaptation and the legacy of hybrid governance in the Indian subcontinent, shedding light on how the Chola dynasty’s unique approach influenced South Asian kingship practices for centuries.
