The Pandya Kingdom, along with the Chera and Chola kingdoms, collectively known as the Muvender, ruled different regions in South India. The Pandya Kingdom was located at the southern tip of the Indian peninsula with Madurai as its capital. It prospered through trade with the Roman Empire and left behind a rich cultural legacy of temples and literature. The Sangam literature provides insights into the political and socio-cultural aspects of the Pandya reign, which eventually came to an end in the 14th century.
