Archaeologist Chandramouli is the most recent person to have gone missing. Every person that has gone looking for it - based on ancient clues left by the original Pandyan soldiers seeking the hidden city - mysteriously vanishes. Skip forward a few centuries to the present day, and people are still searching for the, now legendary, hidden Chola kingdom.
Though the enraged Pandyan army search every location, the Cholas, along with the stolen idol, seem to have vanished forever, waiting, as legend has it, for the day when a saviour will appear to them to lead them out of hiding. The Chola people take with them an idol that is sacred to the Pandyas. as the last great Chola dynasty is collapsing and the Pandya empire rises to take control, driving the Cholas out of their own territory, the Chola emperor sends his son and the Chola people to a secret location to hide them and ensure that the dynasty lives on. The Cholas and Pandyas are two of the four ancient Tamil dynasties that ruled South India.
