Pandyas of South India:
The Pandya dynasty was one of the greatest South Indian kingdoms. But what made them so great?
The main reason for the greatness of Pandyas were their conquests. They almost conquered almost all of the South India and earned respect from all over. Pandyan kings were smart enough to choose Madurai as their capital. Madurai had lots of rocks for buildings and was also rich in pearls. This allowed Pandya kingdom to trade all across the world.
Another way the Pandya empire gained power was through their architecture. They invested in building several rock temples. In fact, they were so good that some of the Pandyan temples were made out of one stone. This one stone would be carved intricately and made beautiful. During the Pandyan empire, they also produced great literature. They organized huge conferences to discuss Tamil literature. These were attended by authors and poets from across the world.
