Maghada could be a part of great Maghadha dynasty in the north India

Villiputturar from Magadai Nadu

921 Atthur established.
Kumbhakonam. This part of the Kumbhakonam was bifurcated in the 10th year of Kulottunga III (1188 CE) and a new village settlement created with the Somanatha temple also built in that year. The village was called Somanatha-mangalam. It goes in modern times by the name Banaturai and the temple Banapurèsvara. As the new colony and the temple were brought into existence by Vana-kovaraiyan, it is possible that the settlement came to be called Vana-puri after this chief and the temple assumed the name Bana-purèsvara
