Following the accession of [[Narasimhavarman I]] in 630, the Pallavas began to grow in strength. To quell their rise, the Chalukya king [[Pulakesin II]] led a southern campaign defeating the Banas on his way to the Pallava kingdom.<ref name="dikshitp96">[[#Dikshit|Dikshit]], p 96</ref> Pulakesin proceeded to the town of Manimangala, identified with the present-day Manimangalam, about 20 miles from the Pallava capital [[Kanchi]] where he was stopped by a strong Pallava army.<ref name="dubreuilp40">[[#Dubreuil|Dubreuil]], p 40</ref><br />
