Ive always wondered, is MADHAVI (silapathikaram madhavi) a kannadiga.

'cauvery madhavi' is what they refer her as.

Any facts? any ideas about her actual background?

I have heard Madhavi's birth place as Thirukadaiyur

First of all, does silappadhikAram really capture a historical event with some imaginative additions or was it a 100% imaginative story?

Is there a way to even establish that in the first place before concluding where Madhavi lived?

(To me the part about Kannagi burning Madurai sounds like a typical mythological story)
