Valvil Ori
Valvil Ori was a Kongu Tamil chief who ruled over the Kolli Hills in Mazhanadu, a part of Kongu Nadu region around 200 BC.
He is regarded as one of the greatest archers the country has ever seen. He was one of the Last seven patrons of Tamil or Kadai ezhu vallal. Politically he aligned with the Cholas and fought against the Cheras and Malaiyaman Thirumudi Kari. 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. Kari himself was later killed by the Chola king Killivalavan.
