Detailed Solution

The Pandya dynasty had Madurai as its capital. The Pandya was the one among the Muvendar. Cholas, Cheras, and Pandyas were the most important ruling dynasties of those times. Three chiefs were the head of these families; they were referred to as Muvendar. Each of the three kings had two main centres to control. One will be inland and the other will be on the coast. There were 6 cities and among these, Madurai was very important, because it was the capital of Pandya. These dynasties became popular in South India about 2300 years ago. They became rich and powerful by controlling the coast and river valleys as the southern part of the country was largely covered with the coastline.
