mocomi.com/ presents: The exciting history of the Pandyas
Pandya Dynasty, was an ancient Tamil dynasty which ruled parts of South India until the 15th century AD.
One of the three ancient kingdoms in the south of India was the Pandyan Kingdom who ruled over Tamil Nadu until the end of the fifteenth century.
Korkai, a seaport on the southernmost tip of India was initially their capital, but then later the capital was moved to Madurai.
The Pandyan Empire was established by the Emperor Kadungon in the sixth century. He ascended the throne after defeating the clan of Kalabhras.
The Pandyas grew in strength and expanded their kingdom. Tamil Nadu was divided between the Pallavas and the Pandyas. The river Kaveri acted as a boundary between the two kingdoms.
The Pandyas controlled the districts which are known as Madurai and Tirunalveli today as well as parts of Southern Kerala.
The Pandyas were best known for their extensive trade network which spread as far as Rome and Greece. They excelled in trading though the seas from Dhanushkodi, the sea shore of Ramanathapuram, and Poompuhar, a city which was used to trade with China, Malaysia, Maldives and other. The Pandyas controlled the pearl fisheries along the South Indian coast between Sri Lanka and India, producing some of the finest pearls known.
