Chola Dynasty's Ganga Conquest
The question asks to identify the South Indian kingdom known for a conquest that extended across the river Ganga in the north.
Historical records indicate that the Chola dynasty, particularly under the rule of King Rajendra Chola I (reign c. 1014–1044 CE), launched a significant military expedition. This expedition, often referred to as the "Ganga expedition" or "Northward expedition," successfully marched across the Chola territories and reached the river Ganga in the northern parts of India. This campaign involved defeating various rulers along the way and demonstrated the Chola empire's military prowess and reach.
While other South Indian kingdoms like the Pandyas, Pallavas, and Chalukyas were powerful entities, the specific conquest reaching the Ganga is famously associated with the Cholas.
Therefore, the Chola dynasty is the correct answer.
