INFORMATIONS ABOUT
PANDIYAS
The Pandya dynasty, also known as the Pandyas of Madurai, was a dynasty of
south India, one of the three ethnically Tamil lineages, the other two being the Chola
and the Chera.[4] The rulers of the three dynasties were referred to as "
the three crowned rulers (the mu-ventar) of the Tamil country".[4][5] The Pandyas ruled
extensive territories, at times including the large portions of present-day south India
and Sri Lanka (through collateral branches subject to Madurai).Madurai was capital of
the pandya kingdom.[6][7]
A number of coins attributed to early historic Pandyas are found from the region. [59] Inscriptions,
datable to c. 2nd century BCE, recording royal grants – both from royals and wealthy commoners –
were also discovered from the Pandya country. [62]

The Vaigai Dam is built across the Vaigai River near
Andipatti, in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu, southern
India. It provides water for irrigation for the Madurai
district and the Dindigul district as well as drinking
water to Madurai and Andipatti.
The Pandya kingdom was revived by king Kadungon (r. 590–620 CE[13])
towards the end of the 6th century CE.[7][66] In the Velvikudi inscription, a
later copper-plate, Kadungon appears as the "destroyer" of the "anti-
Brahmanical" Kalabhra kings.[13] With the decline of the Kalabhra
dynasty, the Pandyas grew steadily in power and territory. With the
Cholas in obscurity in Uraiyur, the Tamil country was divided between
the Pallavas of Kanchi and the Pandyas of Madurai.
Kalugumalai is a panchayat town in Kovilpatti Taluk
of Thoothukudi district in the Indian state of
Tamil Nadu. Kalugumalai is 21 km and 22 km from
Kovilpatti and Sankarankovil respectively.[1] The place
houses the rockcut Kalugasalamoorthy Temple,
monolithic Vettuvan Koil[2] and Kalugumalai Jain Beds
.
Tamil came to be the main language
used by the Pallavas in
their inscriptions, though a few
records continued to be in Sanskrit.
This language was first adopted ...
