Arisil or Aricil is a branch of the river Kaveri in the Tanjore district.[1] It was the site of many a battle between the different Tamil kingdoms. One of the most notable being the 9th-century war between Nripatunga Pallava and Sri Mara Pandya in which the latter was defeated. Nripatunga was the son of Nandivarman III by a Rashtrakuta princess[2][3]
