Cheraman Perumal myths
Cheraman Perumal myths are a group of unverified tales regarding the fate of the last Cheraman Perumal following his mysterious disappearance.
== Legend of Cheraman Perumal ==
The order of succession of Cheraman Perumal is not clear, might be first or last of the series of Cheramans. But he is believed to have ruled for 12 years (20 years in some version).〔 There were many Cheraman Perumals across the old Tamil Nadu and Kerala and this had made locating the original Cheraman Perumal difficult. There are speculations that Cheraman Perumal lineage is a lie spread by Namboodris of Kerala, to prove their superiority.〔 It is said in one of the Brahmin legends that Brahmins from outside Kerala belonging to Chera kingdom brought the rulers to rule Kerala, accounting to the failure of the local village councils. These rules were called Cheraman and the title Perumal (god) was suffixed to elevate them. This legend points out of 12 Cheraman Perumals which contradicts the 25 Cheraman Perumals described in Keralolpathi. This is in conflict with the fact that Kerala was predominantly a Buddhist state and hence ''Perumal'' might be synonymous with Buddha.
Buchanan, in his book, ''Journeys from Madras through the countries of Mysore, Malabar and Kerala'', brings out completely new tale in the Perumal lineage. Bhutaraya Perumal (also called as Cholu/Chozha) was murdered by Cheraman Perumal with the help of Brahmins, after the latter was defeated by the former forcing him to abdicate the throne. This made Brahmins to decorate Cheraman Perumal as Kshatriya King over the whole of Buddhist Kerala. Historians confirm that this tale is again spun to prove the superiority of Brahmins in Kerala and also their fight against the strong Buddhist monarchy of Kerala.〔
