As the records give it
Founders
Named as founders
Who the records name as founding it.
What this means
An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.
Named as founder: Chola dynasty

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.
What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.
