Valvil Ori
Valvil Ori was a Tamil chief who ruled over the Kolli Hills in Tamilakam around 200 CE. He belonged to the Kongu Vettuva Gounder community.[1] [2] [3] [4] He is regarded as one of the greatest archers the country has ever seen.[5] He was one of the Last seven patrons of Tamil or Kadai ezhu vallal.[6] Politically he aligned with the Cholas and fought against the Cheras and Malaiyaman Thirumudi Kari.[7] It is said that he was defeated and killed by Kari of the beautiful spear, the lord of Mullur, who then gave Kolli hills to the Cheras.[8] Kari himself was later killed by the Chola king Killivalavan.[9][10]
