The Chola kingdom mostly ruled which region of India?
South
The Chola dynasty originated in the Kaveri river valley in present-day Tamil Nadu. At their peak under Rajaraja I and Rajendra I (c. 850–1250 CE), they controlled Tamil Nadu, Kerala, parts of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and even Sri Lanka.
This entire core territory lies in peninsular South India, distinguishing the Cholas from northern dynasties like the Mauryas or Guptas. Hence the answer is South.
